I still feel like we should allow PEAR1 packages to have their own repo in pear svn, i.e. not in the same repo as PEAR2; If anything more people will use that instead of googlecode and similar which in turns gives us more control and I know that couple of devs want to use SVN instead of the current CVS for their packages, Now I want to hear some discussion from the developers so to how they feel about it, for example Joe and Till, would you guys use the PEAR1 SVN repo instead of googlecode if we offered it ? If not, then why (I'm interested in knowing what I can improve on pearweb/infrastructure wise to lure people "back home") I know the group has decided against this but to me, we need to listen to the devs first and even allow them to vote... Power to the people ;-) Regards Helgi
