Hi Laurent, I can't support this decision. There are hundreds of grammar errors in the documentation you've written, and more than one factual error. I don't see any good reason to avoid the PEAR manual. The thing is already in docbook! It wouldn't take long to tweak it to fix any compatibility issues encountered. Most important, it cannot be translated or edited by anyone else as long as it it outside of CVS. HOWEVER, I understand and appreciate the effort you've put into this, and if you choose to publish the manual as an independent HTML document, I won't stop you. I have, however, removed myself as a developer from PEAR_PackageFileManager (marking as inactive) as I don't agree with the majority of your recent decisions, and also don't have the time to do anything about it. I hope you can understand my feeling on this issue. Greg
