Re: The PHP Platform

Well, your libraries probably don't meet the coding standards for PEAR right now, and would need a small amount of work to add the necessary hooks to make it compatible. http://pear.php.net/faq.php#faq-2 With all that code you've got, it should be fairly trivial for you to become a PEAR contributor and even get your own CVS account. It's all in how you approach it. If you just come in and tell everyone that they suck, and your ideas and code are so much better, you'll find that most people will not listen to you. If you come in and say, "Hey I've got some classes I've been working on, what do I have to do to contribute them to PEAR and get a CVS account?", you'll find that people will jump through hoops to help you out.
