This discussion about PEAR channels is quite interesting. What I would like to see is an official server at (let's say) http://app.php.net/ with lots of frameworks, an Application repository ! As simple as that. Are there some motivated people willing to take this kind of project ? It would be really nice to extend PEAR and PECL to higher level *standard* applicative chunks of code. It would also have a high educationnal value, like many free softwares around, but in a centralized place. It's nice to see how other people design web applications, especially small bricks, when you're not a very experienced developper.

I dont think we will ever see this. The php.net Domain is for library code and maybe tools for developers. But its certainly not for full applications. This is simply way beyond the scope of php.net and therefore it makes no sense to have an app.php.net. The management of such a site seems impossible as well. What _may_ make sense is a list of channels that aggregate all sorts of applications under channels.php.net or something like that. regards, Lukas
