1) better hardware for pear.php.net 2) easier development of the code running pear.php.net 3) better collaboration tools at pear.php.netEven though new hardware will definitely solve many problems some kind of mirroring scheme should be involved.

PEAR installer should then be added a feature to optionally download packages from closest mirror. Fink uses similar feature. http://fink.sourceforge.net/ -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
