Yes LI, PCQ, Chip, etc. can publish a whole lot of PHP / Zope / Perl howtos

In fact a Open Source web development special would be nice

Starting from Myself!

I have about 7 to 8 PHP articles planned out

Time I wrote them :-)  and sent them across

suggestions for topic are welcome

Unfortunately I find PHP adequate enough for all the things and am too lazy
to learn anything else

Perhaps someone can show me what PHP cannot do that something else can
achieve in terms of end results

(Chat, IRC,  flash game manipulation can be DONE! something else)
