1. Is "pear2\HTML\Template\PHPTAL" namespace appropriate? I've noticed Savant's PEAR2 package uses pear2\Template (without "HTML" part) namespace.

Ah yes, well that's just where I put it. No contemplation was involved. :-)

Which namespace prefix is correct?

I'd like to get the HTML\ part out of there, but that's just me.

2. What's the relationship between pear.php.net and pear2.php.net? Is the second one only temporary, or is it going to replace the first one? Is it OK to use pear.php.net for PEAR2-only package? If not, how can I get it on pear2.php.net?

We were looking at ways to integrate the two (meaning, bring the pear2 standards to pear1 packages), but it seems keeping them separate is the direction we'll be heading.

So what should I do? Is PHPTAL PEAR1 project of any use then? (note that I don't want to release PEAR1 package that is incompatible with one on phptal.org, so I chose to release PEAR2 package only) http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_Template_PHPTAL Should it be renamed? Dropped? Are you OK with project on PEAR1 that has no releases and name other than on PEAR2, or should I have http://pear2.php.net/PEAR2_Template_PHPTAL project instead?

We could really use some help with pear2, if you're interested in assisting, please let us know.

I can help by providing a package, but I'm not interested in development of the pear website itself. -- regards, Kornel
