Hi Kevin, I'd like to make a few suggestions: * Please have a look over the PEAR coding standards and make sure your code conforms. * PHP5 should be used * Numbers_Words is designed to allow multiple languages--this would be a good feature for your package as well. * You'll want to write some unit tests. See for example the tests for Numbers_Words * I think it may be better to get in contact with the Numbers_Words developers and see if you could integrate this functionality into the existing package instead of creating an entirely new package for it.
