Re: HTML_Select_Common package - Follow Up

Hello Peter,

My name is Pete Snyder and I recently mailed the list to ask about taking over maintenance of the HTML_Select_Common package a week or so ago (I've included the text of that message below). I mailed this list because of the instructions I found at http://pear.php.net/manual/en/newmaint.takingover.php I don't mean to rush anyone or be a demanding thug or whatever, but I was hoping someone could let me know if I'm contacting the wrong group of people, or if there are other steps I should make in this request. I'm still very interested in taking part in the PEAR community and just want to make sure I'm going about this request correctly.

Yep, you are asking the correct list :)

As part of this request I'd also be excited about porting HTML_Select_Common and HTML_Select over to HTML_Common2 to keep it updated.

If I understand correctly you are interested in fixing bugs / adding features to HTML_Select_Common and eventually propose a HTML_Select_Common2 package ? Great ! So, the steps are: - fill in some bugs / feature requests with your patches attached (in unified diff format) here: http://pear.php.net/bugs/report.php?package=HTML_Select_Common so people can review your code, - after this, qa guys will probably set you as maintainer of the package, - then you'll be able to propose a php5 HTML_Select_Common2. You may want to ask questions on irc (#pear) as well. Cheers ! -- David
