Hi, As Greg suggested, I'd herewith like to give a short introduction about myself. I've been with PEAR / "in" PEAR for several years now. Starting as a user (as usual), I've soon started contributing to some packages, been on the mailinglists (lately mostly following) and been advocating using PEAR where possible. In recent years I've been attending several conferences to man the PEAR-both, held talks on PEAR (newbie intros/news-updates/howtos) or written articles. And I'm of course glad to be working for a company which understands my passion for PEAR and gives some free time for it :-) and actively supports PEAR. For the PEAR group I see a quite some work which needs to be done and important decisions to be made - imho which mostly piled up the recent years. That's the full range from strategical decisions (rules, representations, new features, marketing, ...) as well as quality (coding standards, conformance-checks, documentation, ...) and future planning. In this context I'd to actively contribute to PEAR's future - together with the community leading it's way to an up-to-date repository and channeling-system with excellent recognition and reputation from the users. I'm 100$ sure PEAR is great already, and has high potential to still improve - we just need to unleash it's strengths :-) That's where I hope to be able to help lead the way. Regards, Stefan
