I believe that constructive discussion with real technical arguments can be made. For example what is the pros & cons of X implementation of feature Z compared to imlementation Y. I would be the first to admit that my design/implementation of feature Z is suboptimal if I can be convinced why another approach is better. Im interested in how you plan to handle multiple connections in SmartIRC for example. > Also comparinsons should be made by third people not by the authors. I agree with this, unfortunately no third party reviews had been done, therefore I decided to take a shot at it myself and wait for someone to correct me. I have a feeling that IRC classes written in PHP is a little esoteric and in addition takes time to review. Therefore the low interest. > Btw some points in his "neutral comparinson" are wrong I wrote correct me if I am wrong, which points? I never stated that this was a neutral comparison, far from it. > hopefully other people noticed that, I thought he read this mailing list for > a whiling, overlooked some about SmartIRC? Im not sure what I overlooked here. Most likely there are room for both Net_SmartIRC and Net_Yapircl if they cannot be merged.
