Re: HTML_BBCodeParser orphan - New maintainer needed

Hi all! The package HTML_BBCodeParser has been rotten around for a while and it turns out that it is a) an orphan and b) somewhat really crappy. Therefore I'd propose to completly deprecate that and make a new version 2.0 with clean Code. I'm now searching for someone to do so, because I'm even much to overloaded by now to care for my own packages. so, volunteers ahead! :) I can imagine 2 solutions by now: a) Getting the PAT BBCodeParser [1] into PEAR, which I really like much. Sadly the maintainer has no time left to do it on his own, but he likes the idea of having it in PEAR, so someone needs to pearify that. b) Extracting the code Bertrand G. made from Text_Wiki (where it definitly does not belong) and create HTML_BBCodeParser2 from that. Text_Wiki can then have an optional dependency to support BBCode further on. Anybody likes to take the job? Regards, Toby [1] http://www.php-tools.net/site.php?file=patBBCode/overview.xml Thanks for all your consideration , Toby .

I think you're missing some features from what is really Text_Wiki. Just have a look in the doc. If you, smart guy, want to know my plan, it's not to "extract" my code (I would suffer from that) but when this parser can be seen as stable or alpha ... make a HTML_BBCodeParser version that would be only a "skin" to reproduce the same BC interface BUT using Text_Wiki with the Xhtml renderer. Anyway, Text_Wiki renderers and parsers, BBCode the same, are highly configurable, and you allmost need some base configuration layer. But please, don't compare things that cannot be compared. I take it as one more proof of your poor way to work within a community. And indeed Text_Wiki was/is/will be produced by a community, that's its strength. Thanks for the link, I adore reading parsers :) and any suggestion is wellcome. I will check it. -- beRtrand "toggg" Gugger
