Currently via the mailinglists or by mailing the devs directly. This is the "official way". pear-dev-mailinglist is your friend for for enhancement-proposals. But this way should mainly be used if you have a technical background. > Is this mailing list perhaps the right place for that? > > if so: > > My most needed features for the PEAR site: > - An errata/feature request forum for the packages Planned - in the works. There are several enhancements for the page of each package. Stay tuned. > - a separate bug tracking system Hmm - not in the works. But not really needed, right? bugs.php.net is fine - you can mark the bugs as "PEAR related". This way you'll draw our attention to your findings - and be sure they will be taken care after. > - browsable examples per package This is in the hands of each package maintainer. But it would be surely a good idea that if you volunteer to add documentation and examples to a) mail the maintainer of the package about your proposals and sending him the examples to incorporate in his next release b) have a look at the pear-doc-mailinglist if you want to participate in writing docs.
