I think the easiest way to make this work would be for www.php.net to
periodically do a mysqldump of the user notes and provide rsync access to
this dump. Sites that want the annotated manual then just need to pull
this dump and insert it into their local database.

We could of course get fancy and use the new replication feature in MySQL,
but that would require people to run bleeding edge MySQL. Personally I
think that approach would be pretty cool and it would help test the
replication on something that is high traffic but not all that critical.
