Re: about the pear group and the president

Yeah I remember those, the zend ones were more general tho, including pecl and php internals and such. Would be nifty to have something like that back ... at least for pear, a bit more details I suppose - Helgi On 5/9/07, Jesus M. Castagnetto <jcastagnetto@yahoo.com> wrote:

Yeah I agree, we'd rather want a dedicated set of people doing this,

in the direction of www.fedoranews.org or similar :-)

Maybe "Planet PEAR"?

Nahh that suggest something in the direction of a feed planet, i.e. planet-php The idea would be more that it would be done by many contributers (freely editable ?) and perhaps have some "head" persons to make sure the content is okey and looks decent (f.ex. style wise) and make it weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, kinda even in the format like fedoranews has (the layout is new but it seems to work well) At some point in the distant past :-) we had the "PEAR Weekly News" in several languages even. There was some kludgy code for that somewhere on the pearweb CVS IIRC [1], so you can do something along those lines but better than what we did back then. At some point I think that even the Zend guys picked that up and kept it going for some time, reporting the latest releases from PEAR, but that is also history now (I think). Cheers.
