Agreement here, although personally I wouldn´t have a problem with having two competing classes in PEAR as well (we have the same situation with template classes and database abstraction anyway). > For LiveUser: The code is already in the open.

I _used_ to use an older version in production ;-) We´re currently developing a CRM and project management application that´s going to hit the market in Q2 - LiveUser is definitely playing a huge part there, so switching the package in this stage of development (or even having all too heavy API breaks) certainly wouldn´t please me a lot :-) Regards, Markus -- Markus Wolff <wolff@21st.de>
