Hi, I'm a new subscriber to the list, and I'm curious about the procedures used by PEAR. I recently submitted the package Map_Projection as a proposal, and I'm wondering - what happens now? The PEAR documentation identifies this list as the locus of discussion about package proposals. Also, are all members free to comment or vote on proposals, or is there an "inner circle" ?

All members with accounts are free to discuss and vote using the PEPr system. All mailing list subscribers are free to discuss. For a rundown of procedures, see here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=109411708025545 Guys, I think we need to put this in the manual :)

I am myself a bit confused by the proposal procedure. I've posted XML_Indexing, and as said in the manual, I called for votes one week after the initial submission. And to this day I'm not getting any vote... I'm afraid there may not be any when voting time ends, 5 days from here... I've just realized that some proposed packages have been in that state for a long time (Yawp2 since march 2004) without going for votes. Should I have been waiting until my proposal seem to get better known on pear-dev before calling for votes ? I'll welcome any constructive vote, wether it's negative or positive :
