Hello Alan, Great info! It is interesting to know that an idea of karma system has come from BSD hackers. But in my opinion the word has evolved. From philosophic category it became a hacker's joke and eventually finished the full circle in the meaning of karma system. It is really interesting if PEAR can support this kind of karma system? How about a separate proposal on it?err? Now I really wonder if you are getting off making circular arguments or if its also a language barrier thing, but wasnt it you that objected using karma to denote accessrights (which you thought was a PEAR invention, which in turn prompted Alan's history lesson)? regards, Lukas
