For better or worse.... I'd like to throw my name in the hat again this year. I've been a long-time consumer of PEAR packages, and have convinced myself to stick around. My primary involvement in PEAR has actually been within my own pear channels, but I do have a package on pear.php.net, maintain an hourly updated copy of the PEAR manual and help with the documentation team. I've maintained my own channel where I work since August '05 (http://pear.unl.edu/) which I use to distribute re-usable packages for our university including our calendar (http://events.unl.edu/), as well as a personal channel (http://pear.saltybeagle.com/). I've also worked with Greg Beaver on Chiara_PEAR_Server at http://pear.chiaraquartet.net/ as well as some minor help with Pyrus and the new SimpleChannelServer. I hope to help usher PEAR2 into adoption and encourage the PEAR distribution method as the standard for installing PHP libraries and applications. My user is saltybeagle, but on #pear people may recognize me as bbieber. http://pear.php.net/user/saltybeagle Thanks, -- Brett Bieber http://saltybeagle.com/
