Re: New Package Proposal: Enterprise A&A

Well, as is usually the case, I wrote it to itch a scratch I have. I'm working on the next version of Geeklog (www.geeklog.net). This system met our requirements for A&A. However, I saw a tremendous amount of value in releasing this into PEAR. So, yes, I would like to see this as a PEAR package. If you want to talk further about how this can be incorporated into Mangler feel free to email me offline and I can talk more towards the internals of the system. --Tony On Tue, 14 Jan 2003, Eric wrote: > > Are you looking to develop an application or a PEAR package?
