Yes, one implementation would be to extend/empower the current categories -- and that means someone has to bootstrap all the package memberships, and people memberships, to the "new group idea". (The "new group idea" includes the concept of contributing people belonging to the group, not just the packages belonging to the group.) I suppose my underlying idea could equally be expressed as: Extend the current categories concept so that all the maintainers of packages in a category can collaborate. This (my original idea wording, or the let's-expand-categories wording) would lead us to smaller-than-PEARdev, yet larger than one package, groups of worker bees. -c ---- PEAR web/CVS: cconstantine cconstantine@php.net / craig.blurfl.com
