Hi all! I obviously think, marketing is the worst describtion for what should be done for PEAR. Marketing is "Selling an Eskimo an icebox", the way a not named software house sells it's products. But while the term is incorrect, the approach is very good. What PEAR IMHO has to do is something like "public relations". People have to get to know about PEAR. And (most important) people have to get the possibillity to easy find a way to and into PEAR. Thought, these are just my 2 cents for this "marketing" thing.

Obviously it's pretty heavy for new PEAR users to find their way through the PEAR website. Same thing with the manual. There are many very important links deeply hidden in html pages instead of appearing in the menu. Regards, Toby geek by nature, php by choice http://www.schlitt.info
