We do write some when we have to, or we like to give a clean direction (legally or for other reasons). However it is not our jobs to write summaries of decisions discussed on our mailing lists. We can take care of that if the documentation team or the pear developers cannot manage to document the decisions made on the lists. However it was never our jobs to write documentations or RFCs. As far as I remember, someone even started a proposal about that. And you even commented it: http://news.php.net/php.pear.dev/39501 I think it is a good basis to put online. Regards, -- Pierre
