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.

Hi Christian, Actually, I believe I did respond to the last emails I got on this subject (Early April, from you and Justin Patrin) ... in which I mentioned that my time has been a bit booked with a new baby and a new start-up in the last year.

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)?

A new design is complete for Pearified.com, and I'm working on re-factoring the existing site to: - leverage the new design - fix existing navigational issues and other bugs - enable easier "create your own" packages for open source projects - for larger projects which have multiple packages/components (say Smarty or other currently non-PEAR projects), enable creation of sub-domains like [project].pearified.com - "branded" channel hosting for those who DO NOT want to: - be at a pearified.com sub-domain - use the pearified.com design - be limited to open source licensed packages In other words, Pearified.com lives and breathes, despite outward appearances. Same goes for me. :) If anyone has suggestions for Pearified.com that I haven't mentioned above, please email me off-list, as I'd be happy to hear about ways "Pearified 2" can best serve the community. -Clay -- Killersoft.com
