What do you think of making the mini documentation part of package.xml? Basically <summary /> and <desc /> already do the job of "Abstract" and "Description" these days, and Greg is working on a new XML layout anyway. That would really be the best. The reason why I brought this topic up is that no documentation gets installed on the client computer. If the installer could generate simple linked html pages which lists the packages which are installed and gives some information about them (information that's in the package.xml file, link to documentation, etc) it would make PEAR a lot more userfriendly IMO.
Under Windows the installer could even create an item in their start menu... Aaron
