We are discussing adding things like user comments to the packages/docs etc. If the PEAR meeting turns out to be a success in terms of decision making be sure that we will come back with a lot of todo's. And there we will be greatful if people help out. Until then please try to limit user requests to a more "here is a good idea" approach. ATM we are getting flooded with the same "requests" daily. And then it needs to be enough when we point to the fact that we are working on that request. So what I am saying here? Be patient. We are building up a huge infrastructure here: A lot of developers Tons of LOC Which needs testing suites, docs, tutorials Version management A sense of direction and unity across the packages etc We already have a lot of pieces in place but there is still a lot of work ahead so rushing decisions now is also not the answer. So to make a long story short: Make sure we get well thought out ideas and requests that we haven’t already put on our agenda. And please be patient. Regards, Lukas
