Re: Status of Net_FTP

Hi Jorrit, Last time I knew Toby has withdrawn him self from all PEAR activities and thus this package needs a new maintainer. I like what you have suggested as to maintaining the current release cycle, can you perhaps show us your code quality by adding patches to bugs you've fixed and post the links here ? And if you take over Net_FTP would you be willing to work on Net_FTP2 ? As to talking to developers and such, pear-dev@lists.php.net would be the place and I can assure you, people there will help you, we also have the irc channel #pear on EFnet if you want a more interactive discussion (not granted that people are online all the time) Regards Helgi On 11/11/07, Jorrit Schippers - nCode <jorrit@ncode.nl> wrote: > > Hello all, > > My development is blocked by an old bug in Net_FTP (#7270) which has been > open and uncommented for so long that it will turn two (years) next year > and > be able to walk and talk for itself.
