+1 to Ending comment-to-subscribe on Drupal.org
As starving authors we at Agaric don't have a lot of cash to burn right now, but we've thrown $25 in the project to make it possible to subscribe to drupal.org issues without commenting. (On top of whatever we donated when this request for funding went out a year and a half ago).
Drupal Work Collectives
Agaric proposes the creation of a new kind of workplace, essentially a Drupal commune, but really more like an open source free software idea & brainstorming commune, kind of along the same lines as an artist's or writer's colony.
We're Writing a Book!
Yes it's true, for the past few months we've been hard at work with a lot of other co-authors on The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7.

The Story on Agaric
I've always had a passion for good design and healthy coding, even back in the days of owning a web site cart in downtown Natick. Back then, my business partner and I made all natural HTML roll-up web sites and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked Drupal into different flavored designs.
TL;DR: For PHP Hexadecimals, Decimals and Octals are all Integers, so they must be declared as @param integer
While I was working on a patch I had to write the docblock of a function which received a hexadecimal number and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to put in the @type param.
I went to Drupal's API documentation and comments standards page to see which is the best type for this param and I found the following:
Data types can be primitive types (int, string, etc.), complex PHP built-in types (array, object, resource), or PHP classes.
Alright, a hexadecimal number is not a complex PHP built-in type nor a PHP Class so it must be a primitive type, so I went to the PHP documentation page to see which primitives PHP has and I found the following:
- boolean
- integer
- float (floating-point number, aka double)
- String
So there wasn't a specific reference for a Hexadecimal number...
The solution:
In the end Pieter Frenssen helped me (Thanks!) with this, and he showed me that in PHP, it doesn't matter what the base number is and it can be an octal, hexadecimal or a decimal, for PHP they all are integers (which makes sense but I wanted to be sure) and he shared this small snippet where we can see that PHP sees the numbers as integers and the base doesn't matter:
$ php -a Interactive shell php > var_dump(gettype(0x0f)); string(7) "integer" php > var_dump(0x08 === 8); bool(true)
So if you are writing the documentation of a function in which one of its params is a hexadecimal number you must declare it as Integer.
