PEAR channel server for applications and libraries outside PEAR

Hello all, PEAR is the best method to distribute PHP libraries, and since it also supports multiple channels, also a very convenient way to distribute PHP applications. Some apps already have their own channel server (e.g. Geeklog, http://pear.geeklog.net/ ), other apps and libs do have PEAR-installable packages, but don't want to set up and maintain a complete channel server (e.g. OpenID libraries, http://www.openidenabled.com/openid/libraries/php ). The ideal place for those projects would be a dedicated PEAR channel server that is open for everyone. pearified.com has been started as such a project, but the lead, Clay Loveless, does not respond to any emails. To make PEAR ubiquitous in the PHP world, we should make it available for all projects. So could someone knowing Clay ask him if he plans to re-live pearified and open it to other people (and some bugs on that page need to be fixed, too)? If he doesn't respond or declines, I would like to see some people starting such a project. Suggestions, ideas, volunteers? -- Christian
