OpenPEAR has been around for a while and last time I checked, they primarily hosted packages of Japanes developers. I'm hoping to get some of them on board eventually, but I'm not sure what keeps them away currently. :-) There's also pearhub.org and pearfarm out there. I publish some packages there myself. Primarily stuff I thought wasn't suitable for PEAR and I didn't want to contribute it anywhere else directly. Everyone's entitled to run their own channels. I think all in all the channel idea is great -- and that's a success indeed. And that's the upside to all these other projects (or even pirum). I'm always happy when other people/companies adopt it. If these people think that bashing PEAR instead of contributing to the project is the way to go, that's fine too. It looks cheap, IMHO. And cause and effect work otherwise. :-) Till
