I generally prefer a more monolithic development style, where all changes get filtered through one or two developers. PEAR packages aren't ginormous pieces of software, and I don't like the sometimes negative results of random people committing to the same block of code all the time (e.g. gross style changes / inconsistencies, different design methodologies, etc.). As a sort of aside, I'm also not thrilled with the general lack of discussion in the PEAR community before changes are made to packages. Granted, things are getting better, and I'm sure many PEAR developers discuss the code elsewhere than this list, but it's still problematic. > It also makes browsing the source code easier to find (as that is often > the best way to review a package before using it).. True, although http://cvs.horde.org/ is the _original_ Chora site. =) -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
