Hi Nice idea, but I would maybe do a Planet PHP, don't know if there are enough interesting blogs with pear only content We have developed such an aggregator. See it at http://ping.kaywa.com/ It works the other way round, the blogs have to ping it, instead of the aggregator going to the blogs, but that could be rewritten. It's based on PHP (...), Popoon, XML/XSLT, magpierss and sql2xml. Therefore the system prerequisites are quite high, but if interest is here, I can see, what we can do. Ah yes, as it uses magpierss, it's GPL, but not really downloadable right now (it's an internal project, but releasing it isn't a problem) chregu On 1/20/04 9:42 PM, Joshua Eichorn wrote:

i remember this coming up before, but i don't remember what happened. Is there anything like planet gnome (http://planet.gnome.org/) for the pear developers. If one doesn't exist i'd be happy to set one up and host it, but it would be nice to use something written in PHP instead of Python so that other PEARers could hack on it. -josh

My only problem with a Planet PHP is it could quickly become very big (ie couple hundred feeds) and it seems like there would be some confusion of what the target is, actual php development, development of php classes/libs, development of php apps etc.

I mainly want the feeds since there seems to be some documentation discussions of PEAR topics on the blogs i've run across (for example i've been talking abit about phpDocumentor 2.0 on mine) but no one knows they exist so all this great knowledge gets lots. Ping looks pretty neat, i kinda was hoping for lower requirments since that sounds like a lot to keep working between php upgrades, but i would be interested in taking a look. -josh
