Re: Offer to take over Image_Barcode

Ah neat. Dave, have you ever contributed to PEAR at all before? Or been a list-lurker for some time? I'd just like to point out we will: - Pick on you - Hassle you - Heckle you - At times, act slower than molasses - Get into petty nitpicking - Avoid dealing with people who nitpick on us - Occasionally, and for no clear reason, post pictures of elephants around the place ( http://www.waterproof.fr/blog/uploads/PHPEdit/elephpants01_400.jpg) ... which can be a little unsettling at first. If that doesn't worry you, then I'd be happy to see you as a part of PEAR. Now, about that nitpicking :S Image_Barcode is PHP4, so any changes would have to be made into an Image_Barcode2 if it changes that dependency or otherwise changes the API signficantly. That's OK though, because we want that in the long run :) Any other pear-qa comments and thoughts?
