Then no cry ;-) Me neither. :-) But my experience is that developers (and this *is* a developers list) don't comment on something that they just don't care for or don't see any problems with. I always take that as a "go ahead unless you break something". This leads me to some random thoughts: As PEAR grows, this list will (or should) more and more become a PEAR developers list, opposed to a PEAR users list though these users are developers too. This used to be different when most of the PEAR users have also been PEAR developers, except of some dinosaurs like DB. I guess only few users of PEAR packages want to follow this list if they are only interested in one or two packages. We should think about mailing lists or announcement subscriptions or some such for each package. Let's say I use the Date package in one of my programs. Then I could subscribe myself to the Date announcement list (doesn't even have to be a ml) and get informed if new releases are out, problems are detected with current releases ;-), or if the author wants to get some feedback on future ideas. > > Such issues can't be solved by having more developers (and don't have > <snip> > > fix old one, and we aren't much better with early and often releases > > in the Horde project. > > Except the UTC problem and fix the package.xml, not that much :-P.
