Just to let you know about my plans: Alexander and I will try to write some PEAR articles in famous german IT publications (in the upcoming PHP magazine [http://www.phpmag.de/] and perhaps in the magazines from Heise Verlag [http://www.heise.de/]). This will happen in the summer, when the whole PEAR stuff is stable enough and well tested to be introduced to the whole PHP world. IIRC Alexander also told me about someone who wants to publish a PEAR book (as part of a series of PHP books), once that PHP 5 is released. Apart from that we should think about some PEAR banners or sth. like this, that could be published on some open source portals (sf.net, freshmeat etc.) once PEAR is ready to be released. Since I'm not very good in Photoshop & friends, it would be nice if some "pixel poet" would take this task. The points I mentioned above one make sense in a medium/long term of time. For the short term, we should concentrate on making PEAR stable. - Martin -- Martin Jansen, <mail@martin-jansen.de> http://www.martin-jansen.de/
