Otherwise we will have a big mess when there are more frameworks asking if they can contribute their stuff. This shall not mean, that I don't want to see parts of other frameworks in PEAR: I'm only worried about keeping the clear and well organized structure, that we are building up by naming conventions, directory structures etc. >I don't think it's unreasonable for a PHP >application to rely on Binary Cloud's authentication interface >any more than it would rely on PEAR's authentication later >(assuming there was one). There is already an authentication class in PEAR, althoug it's in a very early state: http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/pear/Auth/. - Martin
