this would make a lot of sense. In the case of java, it would be
interesting, about the crossreference to for instance the classpath
project. but I think this could be included in the gcjs site.

sounds really great. looked at it, looks rather impressing. though I
have no experience in php, but the php5 sources look very much like java
:-).
I have worked with some pyhton/ruby wikis, but nothing as complete as
that. Would be interesting to use the radeox wiki engine from within
gcj, but I haven't experiemented with that yet. (radeox is lgpl, this
would make gcj describe itself :-))

so could this be hosted on sf.net for testing?
does sf.net provide php5 ?
