In short, I think that PEAR should be a community more like sourceforge or tigris.org. Sure there are some basic requirements for adding a package (and PEAR could have more requirements like documentation, etc.), but it's not like you're not going to get approved if you have a legitimate proposal. If PEAR had a clear vision for what it aimed to provide, then this could be different, but it does not.
Err to state the obvious. Why should be duplicate sourcefore or tigris? I mean where is the value?
Because it wouldn't be duplicating sf or tigris.org. It would be PEAR -- a repository for PHP libs & apps. In some cases these could be shipped w/ PHP, as currently. In all cases they would be installable using the PEAR installer; there would be support for dependencies as there are currently, etc. But it would be *open* like these systems. Hans
