The problem is that PEAR focused on building technical foundations and totally ignored build up a working community process. This of course is just as hard to fix as technical mistakes. I see a clean slate as a place where we can redefine our community process. The fact that there is a PHP5, which addresses a lot of the limitations of PHP which we have to live with currently, is just another reason on top. Regards, Lukas
