RE: [PEAR-DEV] Re: Pear::Translation ,bug

Hi, ok you have showed your dedication to the cause :-) Also it seems you were right that the author is unable to provide the necessary support (atm). Generally I would like to propose the following course of action. Lorenzo takes over lead for now and you feed him your patches. This will give us (Lorenzo and the rest of PEAR) a basis to getting to know you a bit better. Once Lorenzo gets sick and tired of applying your skilfully crafted patches he can suggest that you get your own CVS account. Let me explain a bit more why I suggest this course of action. PEAR claims to have high quality (which we strive to achieve atleast .. and which we are definitely improving day by day) so we like to ensure that new developers have the necessary know how. This know not only encompasses programming or PHP skills to be more specific, but also good knowledge of PEAR its CS and framework. Usually new developers go through the proposal phase which lets them show off them code they have written. If there are still problems in the CS compliance etc then the new developer will be pointed to these issues by other developers. So hopefully by the time the proposal is accepted the developer should be pretty well-versed in the PEAR CS and framework. Since in this case we already have an existing package I guess the best course if action is that you first have an experienced developer to examine your patches before they get commited. I hope you don't feel too bad about this. Its not that I don't trust your skills as a programmer. Its more about giving you some time to get to know the PEAR development world. Btw: just to clarify I am not the only person that decides the opening of a PEAR account. I was just the one that handled your request as I am one of the members of the PEAR Group (there are 7 others). Regards, Lukas
