But it is really not fair of you to now come up from the dust and again start bashing the PEAR developers: (a) The reason that you don't see more people contributing to MDB is simply that we don't have the time to focus on one project: I have once thought to start digging into MDB deeper to help out with development. But then I saw that Lukas was doing a good job and some others were helping him, so I didn't see the need to join them. I guess others had the same thought. This has nothing to do with stalling the project. (b) To your argument concerning Smarty: I guess you got something wrong. We actually decided that Smarty should be equiped with a package.xml file, so that it can be installed via "pear install http://smarty.php.net/foo/Smarty-XXX.tar.gz". This does *not* mean that Smarty will be part of PEAR - it will just be installable via the PEAR infrastructure. This possibility is open to everyone's code - even to your phpclasses.org code. So as you can see, we haven't really stepped away from the need for pearification - even premiere league code like Smarty doesn't make it's way into CVS because of this ;-). (c) Personally I don't think that the development process of MDB has anything to do with the "anti-Manuel-Lemos" attitude. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
