Hi Alan, Sorry to sound negative, but my immediate reaction to this is "Oh good, yet another package management and sandboxing technology!" This probably isn't the place to discuss the USPs of this over all the systems that are already out there, but it does come across as a bit of an advert. Are there particular challenges you're facing when packaging PHP specifically, or are you just hoping to recruit more volunteers to help you bootstrap your "store"? Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
