Should not the concept be open to more general parcel ("packages") service. "packages" as I was not sure what package meant in Tim's original message. Anyway, a few pear packages are allready some kind of regional...UPS is *not* regional, they are quite commen in Germany as well. I would not encourage anyone to write a unified API for parcel services, like UPS, FedEx, DPD, etc. They offer different services, using different protocols and authentication mechanisms. Trying to unify this, well make the package a lot more complicated.
BTW: I'd be happy to have a package for UPS in PEAR, so go ahead and start a proposal, I guess comments will follow once the information is available in pearweb. Mails tend to get lost on pear-dev... I too, like to get "parcels" in the right way, time and control...à+ -- bertrand Gugger (toggg)
