Hi, I hope here is the right place for submitting proposals. Anyway from a newcomer's point of view PEAR appears like a treasure island without a map. Like all over the PHP community there seem to be hundreds of very talented people giving away their work for the benefit of others. The trouble is that reuse is sub-optimal due to the lack of a unifying PHP component model. Too much learning effort is expected from potential users and, often, developping from scratch is less intimidating an option. For those who, like me, miss the availability of a component framework for PHP that would enable out-of-the-box component reuse, I suggest to have a look at : http://sourceforge.net/projects/reflexivecms/ It's not a CMS despite its name, but a working implemention of a purely PHP component framework. I feel that PEAR classes could easily be wrapped into components and made much less intimidating (by lessening the need for in-depth documentation). I would gladly collaborate with whoever would like to integrate the proposed technology into a standard or evolve one from it. Regards, Philippe LACHAISE
