It would be great to have Derick as a co-lead/developer for the PEAR::Message package, no problem here. Also, if at the end a merge is decided that would be a good time to obsolete the name PEAR::Message for PEAR::Digest, PEAR::MessageDigest or a similar one, I am not sure about PEAR::Crypt_Digest, as strictly a message digest (hash or hmac) is not an encryption algorithm (unless I misunderstood the definitions). ===== --- Jesus M.
