RE: Making PHPExcel available via a pear channel?

Hi, A quick answer: there are no real intentions to lower requirements because of resources to do this. If someone can replace these dependencies with userland alternatives, patches are welcomed :-) Joining the project team: just make a CodePlex account, email it to me and I'll send detailed instructions. Another announcement: there's an experimental PEAR channel up at http://pear.pearplex.net/ where we'll be dropping future releases. I'm also working on getting other PHP-related stuff from CodePlex on this channel.
