I think the PEAR documentation aspect of the article might have been a bit optimistic, as I find that the documentation is by far the weakest part of PEAR -- especially when compared to sister project PECL. Many packages do not provide any user documentation. Some packages simply provide a link to a web site as their user documentation. Sometimes the referred-to site no longer exists.
Especially since the promise if a wiki, users comments and livedocs have not yet really materialized. As for I18N, I think we have enough work on our hands with English documentation and imho out of date docs are worse than no docs. In terms of error messages. What I have done in MDB2 was to make it possible to overwrite the static error code to error message array mapping. Have a look at MDB2::errorMessage(). regards, Lukas
