Hi all, Those of you who volunteered your time, I have specific tasks that need to be completed to help improve PEAR. First, is there someone/team who is willing to write a script that can determine both the percentage of undocumented packages in PEAR, and provide the ability to generate a list and/or send out reminder emails once per month to the package developers? This could be very useful for QA, and will address the single biggest Achilles heel of PEAR Second, is there someone/team who is willing to write a simple DocBook "this is valid for peardoc" script in PHP that depends on: - PHP 5 - simplexml or xmlreader or DOM or some other simple implementation that does not require OpenJade or the other junk we currently need. The first job is a short-term easy-to-do task. The second job is recommended for experienced developers only, as it is a huge job. I recommend borrowing ideas from livedocs - or porting a simpler version for our purposes. These two tasks will make writing documentation easier, and make *not* writing documentation harder - both good things, and both needed. Thanks, Greg

Greg: Can you elaborate on the second task a bit? One of my projects needs a lot of DocBook, so at the very least I have an understanding of the basics, but all this DSSSL stuff is opaque to me (from what I can see, I'd like to keep it that way too).
