Ok great!
What I was saying with commitment is that Tomas needs a helping hand over
the long run. And if the person changes all 2-3 months it could do more harm
.. not because that person is incompetent, but because it makes it hard to
retain a long term roadmap.
But I would certainly appreciate if you take on DB. Furthermore maybe DB
could even handle another developer and so maybe you could "work in" another
developer into this whole PEAR thing :-)
Go Chuck Go :-)
