Personally I feel for all the people that come here in good will and are rejected and even ignored like in this case. I don't see what is your problem with recommending them to contribute to the PHP Classes site. At least they can have their code announced to people that are eager for new useful classes. > Personally, I find phpclasses really slow and good stuff mix with real crap. The site now is slow because it is busier every day because it provides a real good service to PHP users and contributing programmers. If the classes are good or bad for you, it does not matter because it is up to each one to evaluate. At least everybody is allowed to contribute. Why do you contribute yourself as well instead of coming here just talking bad things about others that at least are willing to share and let others have the same chance to share? > It does not compare to what can be found at www.hotscripts.com in terms of > quality of service and quantity. If you find that site so good for hosting Michael classes why didn't you recommend it in first place? It seems that you only want to pass a bad image of the PHP Classes site. :-( > The right answer to Michael was : > Have a look at http://pear.php.net/faq.php > > PEAR is still growing and it is the good time to jump in. You are deceiving Michael. PEAR does not accept complete libraries. If it is going to accept complete libraries now, it would have to accept BinaryCloud that was refused in the past, to be consistent. Regards, Manuel Lemos
