I think McGruff's "Fundamental PHP Know-How" section should be updated. The php.ini settings section should probably be split into sections for development and production servers as the settings are different (and important) for those two. Perhaps some information on recent BC break regarding references might be helpful. Probably a stronger statement for setting magic_quotes Off would be more up-to-date.

The Database Managers section does not mention phpPgAdmin for Postgres or other reasonable alternatives.

It would be good if the Manuals section recommended that people pay special attention to those few sections of the manual that would really make a difference to newbies, namely sections like Arrays, Date/Time, Filesystem, Misc, PHP, and Strings sections (there are probably others as well). There are a lot of sections in the manual and most are installation and application specific, but those I listed are core programming libraries that get used over and over.

As Zend is going to start supporting Eclipse, maybe it should be added to the Editors section.

Adding a section with Unit Testing resources would be good with links to PHPUnit, Simpletest, etc.

I submit the Starter Pack URL to Digg so hopefully people looking to get into PHP will see it, benefit from it and possibly even register here. :)
