Re: Unmaintained Port: Text_Figlet

Hey David, That's great to hear. Couple of questions: 1. Are you tuned into pear-dev 's mailing list? 2. Know how to find the #pear irc channel of efnet? 3. Are you prepared for us to pick on you? For example 1. Harrassing you over petty coding style 2. Backseat driving with your API designs 3. Ignoring problems you raise about our own packages in a hope they will go away 4. Giving you downright mean sounding feedback 4. How good is your unit testing kung-fu?
