How backwards can someone be? :( Thats not exactly backwards, it's a matter of style. I definately prefer spaces, so I don't really agree with you. The coding standards are very strict, but that's what PEAR is for. PEAR is meant to be a rather small repository for highly reusable, high quality classes, standard classes, and the standard also applies to the coding style. > It saddens me that so many programmers today have no clue about > the importance of usability and flexibility, mostly in the Unix and > windoze camps. :( Maybe you're misinformed about the goals of PEAR. > I, unfortunately, will not be contributing to the PEAR project as long > as arcane concepts are employed. What? Standards are arcane? > Whoever came up with those coding standards has a LOT to learn about > effective computing. PEAR is not meant to be developed easily, quite the opposite. It's meant to be used easily and an example for people to learn from. regards Wagner
