Also a good idea, yeah. Maybe the people on pear-dev would mostly also subscribe to such a pear-bug-list ... but when we split pear-bug from pear-dev that would be optional. Afaik currently it's said that maintainers "should" subscribe to pear- dev ... so there's a need to mail the maintainers of packages for bugs in their packages anyways. And maybe pear-dev has already got too much traffic for some people. > Umm, I'm thinking that would be cool to add something like "package > tracking". An option to the pearweb, that when set, would email you > all the stuff related to a package (new releases, bugs, etc). Yeah, a really cool idea Tomas. This way people using a few packages and not actively reading a mailinglist could still get the information relevant for them. Volunteers for implementation? :-)) Sorry, don't have the time currently. Stefan
