OK, I'll apply for an account. argh ;) Can we please get rid of this +1 stuff? It's getting really ridiculous lately IMHO. About 80% of the mails on this list do not contain more than a +1. The +1 scheme was only introduced for the name of the package (IIRC), but some people here think, they have to put their +1 under almost every mail... Other tendencies lead to "If 5 people agree with me, I can do whatever I proposed", which is really not helpful. Just invite your collegues to pear-dev and you have your +5 in 10 minutes... I agree with Lukas, we have to talk about the future of PEAR. I think, a web-based voting system wouldn't be that bad (Someone else proposed already, how this could be done, look in the archives). We really need a consencus about the future of PEAR (concurrent Packages allowed, who decides what goes in a package, what happens if packages is abandoned, etc...) otherwise, we will end up in the same discussions all over again. Just my 2 (insert your currency here) anyway chregu
