I think the keyword is : coupling. A framework tries to integrate everything in a system. In the PEAR bazaar, I think it's more a matter of : how do I plug package X into package Y ? See, that's exactly what this thread is all about. It makes me wonder if it wouldn't be nice to have a new package category : Glue. Then you could have : - Glue_DataGrid_DataObject - Glue_HTMLMenu_XMLSerializer - Glue_DataGrid_ServicesAmazon - Glue_Etc... Additionally, there could be specific resources about coupling. Some coupling wiki, or something, where one could find some recipes for given "couples".
Big +1, but I'd call the category "Adaptor", after the respective pattern :-) CU Markus
