I don't post often here but I feel like I have to add a comment here: I'm a long time PEAR user, and I have to admit that the documentation of most packages is not as good as it has to be. I often had to dig into the code to find out what I needed. A pair of co-workers of mine keep making negative comments about PEAR mainly because of the (lack of) documentation. They even say that the best doc for PEAR is on google since there is almost no doc on the website :-/ Then I think that the documentation is almost as important as the package: without it, most standard developers will not even make the necessary research to find out if the package is good or not: they will just use another library with a documentation.

I saw a lot of people on these lists who bitched and moaned about poor QuickForm documentation, and only one of them (Keith Edmunds) came up with a tutorial when asked to contribute something himself. I suggest you either follow his example and contribute some docs to the packages you use or stop moaning. Thanks in advance.
