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. -- http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=617
