Re: Re: cvs: php4 / TODO-4.1.txt

The business of moving extensions to PEAR appeals to me as I think that PHP currently feels too big - especially from the point of view of the potential new user with a dial up connection, who may well look elsewhere for something smaller. However, I think the idea of moving some extensions to PEAR and leaving others alone will produce a situation where 'knowing' where to find an extension is not intuitive. The two solutions to this which spring to mind are: ALL extensions are in PEAR, and a download tool allows easy selection of extensions, perhaps with a 'most common options' button to include the favourite extensions. As above except that the most common extensions are somehow promoted fom being extensions into the core of PHP. Maybe neither of these are ideal, but I just think we need to make sure that whatever happens in logical and intuitive.
