Dear Ken, Philippe and David,
Related to the refactoring issue, I feel that split this package into
smaller packages will make it harder to maintain and implement, please pear
in your mind that most of the package functionality share the core of
transparent charter set converter (actually roughly of Arabic websites used
UTF-8 while other half still used Windows-1256 with a small share for ISO
-8859-6).
On the other hand, we already implement semi-factory pattern, so logical
modules are separated in different sub classes in different files and
loaded dynamically on request, this structure keep code maintainable.
I like to think about it as Swiss-army knife for Arabic website developers
where they can find most of their day to day needs (related to Arabic
language), so pack it in one PEAR package will make implementation and
deployment much easier and needs less memory footprint.
In light of those facts, do you still believe that it is better to have
several small packages? I am open to any suggestion that will improve this
piece of work.
