I think that most people use that because that is what always existed, so as long as you keep the Metabase* functions working as they do today, what you change inside may not affect many people, but you need at least to take a poll before you can come to any conclusions. I suggest that you add a poll to Metabase mailing list using eGroups poll facilities. > FYI: there has been a lot of discussion about this project in the last > couple months (especially december irrc) on the pear-dev mailinglist. So > some questions might allready be answered there. From what I read lately I could not come to any conclusion. It seemed that most people were in favour except for Tomas that said he would not use it if I got him right. My opinion is that you should hear a clear yes or no answer from somebody in charge of PEAR organization before you have a go, or else you may be wasting your time working on something based on expectations that may not exactly be what you think. I think that the greatest point of the merger is to have one and only one abstraction layer in PEAR, not one API with two implementations. So, I think it is maybe better to wait for PEAR administration elections so you can get a definitive yes or no answer on what you plan to do before you have a go. Regards, Manuel Lemos
