Do you need anyone on Net_IRC ? :D
Seeing the status of the IRC classes: Net_IRC: always beta, 2600 downloads, one year inactivity, no docs Net_SmartIRC: stable status, 13000 downloads, one year inactivity, docs IMHHO, thinking on what is best for PEAR, the actions I'd take for them would be: - Mark Net_IRC as deprecated - Rename Net_SmartIRC to Net_IRC (until the Net_EvenSmarterIRC class arraises) - Accept developers for the class

Well I dont know if the API is 100% compatible, either way it sounds like a new major version to me: http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20031114-bbr.php So it seems renaming to Net_IRC2 would be better. Also from what I gathered on IRC today SmartIRC doesnt use PEAR_Error (or PEAR_ErrorStack), which should be fixed. Also the isError method should be using is_a() nowadays (since we have set 4.2 as the lowest supported PHP version). regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
