Hi, I would like to announce that I am steeping down from my position as member of the pear-group and member of the pear qa core team. I will still maintain my packages and so I will just become a standard citizen of the PEAR community. As a result in terms of mailinglists I will only be passively monitoring pear-dev from now on. So please keep this in account when you try to contact me. regards, Lukas Smith

Lukas, I must say that this does come as a shock. I sure there are many factors contributing to this decision. I for one can only hope that you will remain around #pear and keep one eye out on the mailing list, your opinion will always be taken as worthy even if you are no longer part of PEAR Group or the Core QA Group. I would like to say that the Core QA Group will surely suffer from your departure at such an early stage in its life-cycle, I hope that we can live up to your high standard that you have brought to every aspect of your work in PEAR. I hope you enjoy whatever it is that you're going on to, and I'm sure your packages will continue to prove to be a great contribution to the community! I guess the crux of what I'm trying to say is this: Don't be a stranger, even if you depart from PEAR altogether, I would still enjoy having you around for advice and general banter :) - Davey
