My views: One way would be to re-write that part of the manual stating one should setup a channel or propose an application to an existing channel (such as pearified). The other being to start having applications in PEAR. [1] http://pear.php.net/manual/en/newmaint.when-to-contribute.bad.php Thoughts ? Arnaud.

The "A" should be heard as "Applications oriented" (er... no , not PEAOR :) ) So far I can see, the Applications we have are tools, pear related tools, no ? Also, we have some examples, what could be promoted as "sample Applications" PEAR is there to propose global means, applications are too much oriented. See only the emerging debate about too much HTTP oriented PEAR. I vote for a "restricted" A in PEAR. à+

+1 from my side too, although the restriction should encompass PEAR and PECL related "A". All other applications can benefit from the channel support and the packaging. -- Stefano
