What I'm talking about is how all of this will work, as I don't think this discussion happened before. Another thing is the problem of the contributors. I think it is a fair assumption to believe that most non-CVS PEAR authors that want to add their classes to the pear.php.net repository will not want to spent the extra effort to learn how to document stuff in our Dockbook standard if they already have something in plain HTML, or TXT (or whatever format they may choose). This is why I'm suggesting storing in the /manual only the documentation of the 'PEAR Foundation Classes', and leave to the contributors to their own choice of documentation. IMO a simple link from the pear.php.net 'detail' class page to the author's site documentation is a good idea. I would much rather have everything in one place, without having to worry if the author's ISP is having problems or whatever. Why can't this be hosted on pear.php.net also? > When you request http://pear.php.net/manual/, you only see > points 1-4 > (without nesting).
