Greetings!
As Pierre-Alain Joye managed to drown Yet Another thread in useless flames, I'll start a new one.
Please vote for my proposal to add a fork of HTML_Template_IT into PEAR as HTML_Template_ReIT. And please just vote, do not try to reason anyone.
There is a +1 already, 4 to go.
Now, on to some background:
1. The biggest problem in "cooperating" is that Pierre-Alain does not have time/knowledge/whatever to work on IT[X] himself and does not want to let me work on it. Well, I don't like him either, so this is somewhat understandable.
2. Pierre-Alain is writing bullshit and (unfortunately) knows it. I already created unit tests to check for BC. And after that I not only fixed some incompatibilities, but found several bugs in stock package. If Pierre-Alain was not busy writing bullshit, but actually coding, he could have fixed them by now. I sincerely doubt that "careful review" of patches would add a lot to BC.
3. On to small patches bullshit. I don't want to "make small patches" for three reasons:
a. It is impossible to make them small
b. I doubt that they will ever be applied;
c. If they do, I don't want _my_ work to bear _only_ Pierre-Alain's name, sorry (see 1. for reference).
I have time/wish to work on IT[X] now, but please remember, that PEAR is not my fulltime job either.
I already proposed my changes 5 months ago and Pierra-Alain promised to review/integrate/whatever them. Guess what? He never actually bothered. I am sure that as soon as you stop pestering him, my proposed patches will go to /dev/null
Thus I want to have a separate package, so I wouldn't _have_ to cooperate with people not wanting to cooperate.
