Re: Regrouping PEAR

Personally I think it would be a good idea to think about a more scalable structure for PEAR. For example I think it would make sense if every category would try to regulate itself a bit more. Like making sure that the points of overlap between packages in the category are carefully chosen. That developers inside the category can better exchange experience by just having a sense of being a small team inside PEAR. So the category could for example take over the responsibility to approve new packages from the PEAR Group in their respective categories etc.

However I am not sure if this mailinglist is really the ideal place to come up with a proposal for this. I think it would be best if people would sit down in smaller groups to work on a proposal (multiple separate groups would be best) and bring their vision for a PEAR structure into a more concrete form, that could then be discussed here again.

I agree with Lukas on both points. This kind of discussion would create a lot mails. Can you open a section on your wiki so people can work on a set of proposals ? Once we have proposals we'll better see where we can/want to head. Those proposals can be worked on over a period of time. Arnaud.
