status on File Formats::OpenDocument

Hi Alexander, and PEAR dev I am the Manager of Technology Services at OASIS, and also a PHP developer. So, I've got some background and interest in your File Formats::OpenDocument package. In fact, I'm making a presentation [2] to the BostonPHP [1] group next month about using PHP to read/write ODF files. I'm not able to read your website and I'm looking to find out more about the status of the project. Is the package under active development? It appears from the list archive that there hasn't been activity since the vote in August http://search.gmane.org/search.php?group=gmane.comp.php.pear.devel&query=opendocument Is it installable via PEAR? What is the best way to get the code? From the PEPR proposal (http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=439) I found a link where I could download the 0.1.0 tarball. Is this the most recent tested/stable source? I also checked out the CVS source. It seems that the CVS code is slightly newer (as expected). pear install OpenDocument errors out. Are you accepting volunteers to assist with the development? How does this package compare to other community projects with the same goals? I noticed another library project at http://opendocumentphp.org which released files within the last two weeks. Has there been any discussion between that project and yours? In general, I notice a lot of programming activity around ODF in everything from Python to Perl, Ruby and Java, but not a lot of PHP programming tools or projects that bring ODF to the masses. This is not a critique of (PEAR nor) your project. In fact it's the opposite. I'm trying to gather and rally support in the PHP community to advance projects like File Format::OpenDocument. Is there any other information or examples that you think I should share with the crowd at BostonPHP?
