The fact is that there are a lot of developers who write thier own PEAR-compatible packages stuff. Some of this packages will never fit to PEAR due to diverse reasons, but still be usefull for certain developers... I'm not talking about second repository or package-hosting. I think some collection of non-official PEAR resources would be very useful in this case. And where would people suppose to find such resources if not at official PEAR website? ;) just a personal view as well Regards DV
