Re: Slowing down Pepr? at least 1 month between proposal/votes

A big +1. Indeed. We should revise the times we are using for PEPR. The understanding was that the person proposing a new package will use his/her own common sense as to how long to wait before asking for votes. Perhaps we should not rely on that and enforce a period of at least a month. Whatever time ranges we decide should be documented, in an addendum (or a replacement) to the existing document: http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20030904-pph.php (in which unfortunately we never included any time ranges/limits). --- Alan Knowles <alan@akbkhome.com> wrote: > I just had a look at the proposal for Image_Graphpite, while an > interesting and good package, it has gone > > * First Draft: 2004-08-30 > * Proposal: 2004-08-30 > * Call for Votes: 2004-09-07 > > That's an 8 day review? > > - The first comment asked if it could be added / work with Image_Graph. > This would be an ideal solution, but is not going to be feasible to > evalutate in 8 days.
