So far we have Christians RFC plus the discussion on the ML. We are
currently planning to hold a meeting on may 9th in Amsterdam where
hopefully a lot of PEAR developers can meet up. Everybody that cant make
it in person will be able to participate via a life video/audio stream
and irc.

It seems that PHPUnit is making great in roads into PEAR.

Unfortunately no one has written a wrapper yet. But if someone where to
do it it would be awesome. Actually I have already tried to find someone
interested. I sometimes come up with stuff I would love to happen and
hope that one of those students with too much free time pick the idea up
(BTW: anyone interested in writing an MDB driver for a file based DB
with an SQL interface that I found?).

No, but that was also under discussion in the context of the PFC's.

Well I can speak for the PHPUnit tests of MDB. There you have to
manually configure a config script in order to run the tests.

What do you mean?
