Hi all --
I've been recently working on patches for Laconica (http://laconi.ca/) which uses gettext for localization. In order to provide compatibility with systems which don't have PHP's native gettext extension available, we need a pure-PHP gettext implementation.
In searching I've turned up two such projects, both no longer active:
'php-gettext' hosted at Savannah:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/php-gettext
and the PEAR 'File_Gettext' module:
http://pear.php.net/package/File_Gettext/
I'd like to take over maintainership of File_Gettext and merge the two projects' features together, providing a clean PEAR-friendly package which can serve as a drop-in replacement for native gettext as well.
Thanks!
