That's were the maintains table comes in :) I my self made a little bug stats for pear (yet to public) and there you can find bugs in all pages where X developer is in maintain of some sort (lead, developer, helper, contribuer etc.) so really in stead of getting all the users .... I get the users that have their ID in the maintain table :) Not sure with that all php.net account == pear account but indeed seems so :) The cron job stuff can infact be done (I myself can even do that if I get the info what you need, but well martin will have to add the cron stuff but I can code the php part, shouldn't be a problem.) But would email be the way to go ? Not so sure about that one :) Unless you people at zend want to go through ~100 users per email :) hehe or well you could of cause make some parser for that job, any way that is in you best needs really, we can probly make something that you can use to make Who's Who page :) Maybe would be a good idea to list up all the needed info and etc., and we can see what we can do about that :) -- Regards Helgi
