If your work is seen/used by more people, you have more chances to receive more patches and features than making it horde specific. Don you think. That's my opinion. HORDE has a lot of incredible functionality that is so hardcoded in the Framework that should be useful to so many projects! But That functionality can't be used! I have contributed to PEAR to make horde better (The Auth methods of Net_SMTP, corrections in Mail class, A LMTP class (which is not part of PEAR yet), I developed also an IMAP Protocol parser (and a class to access imap and all its extensions - quota, acl,namespaces, uid+, auth methods,etc) hoping that class allow people that hav'nt imap support in php to use horde I think The Mail class (the idea) was born in horde and now is a critical part of PEAR and a lot of people use it and gives thanks to you (and Jon Parise) for that class (and Net_Socket). Why don't you let it happen with other parts of HORDE? The same problem happened with the Pear proposal Crypt_PGP: I need to mass-create pgp keys for my imp installation (without user intervention). I created a pear class based on the excellent work of Michael M Slusarz <slusarz@bigworm.colorado.edu> I was thinking that this code could be useful to everybody and also to HORDE (if the class is accepted I will make a patch to HORDE's pgp.php to allow to use the PEAR class instead of the actual code) I also think that if Michael accepts the leadership of the code must belong to Michael M Slusarz (he make the 95% of the class code) and If he like I let the class authoring to him. In that way, Horde can use PGP functionality as today and other projects also. That's my opinion. ------------------------------------------------- Mail enviado desde el CNBA http://www.cnba.uba.ar/ -----
