Either we have 1 engine and multiple api's and fix mistakes of the past or we allow competition, this double standard just doesn't cut it.

For the record: I'm for allowing competition.

I'm for one or the other, but it seems that the people that want to allow competition especially in the template category are small. But in this case, i think Savant could fit into Flexy so hopefully Alan and Paul can work something out.

Hm ... let me think about how this would work. Am doing a point-by-point analysis of Flexy base-class vs. Savant base-class. Will continue with Savant proposal concurrent to this analysis.

I would hate to Have Savant get +5 and then be the first package in PEAR to get a Veto from the PEAR group.

Me too. :-( At the same time I think Savant (or something like it) is very useful addition to PEAR, which is why I'm going to let the Savant proposal continue as it is -- if nothing else it is bringing all the template issues to a head, maybe after this we'll have a formal plan for PEAR templates. -- Paul M.
