Hi, since with DataGrid the request has been raised by Lukas that all packages should use the category-prefix, I'd like to propose to include the official prefix for every category in the manual somewhere. Maybe simply in brackets after the category-name? Somebody got a better suggestion? As a first step I think we need to clarify about the prefixes (and maybe about the categories itself). Please comment! I tried to figure the prefix out myself as good as possible. Source: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packages.php 16. Authentication -> Auth 17. Benchmarking -> Bench?!? 18. Caching -> Cache 19. Configuration -> Config 20. Console -> ?? 21. Database -> DB 22. Date and Time -> ?? 23. Encryption -> ?? 24. File Formats -> File?!? 25. File System -> File?!? 26.
