Ahem... http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=146 I cc'ed you since I don't know if you're subscribed to pear-dev. Perhaps I'm just too damn tired at this momnet, but the description in the proposal doesn't make clear exactly what the package does. Meta data of WHAT? The example provided in the intro there is just a bunch of code, but you're not telling me what I get for running it. At the same time, I'm VERY impressed that you have put together API documentation! I took a look at those docs and it says the class "print sql query results in html table with paging, sorting, and metadata capabilities." That's clearer, but meta data is such a broad term and you're not letting on as to what you specifically mean at the top of the file. Granted, I just skimmed the docs in a half-hearted manner. In closing, I'm not trying to disparage your efforts. They are quite thorough thus far and seem promising. I just hope you can provide better descriptions.
