OK to release earlier versions first using SourceForge and PEAR once standards met?

Hi, Apologies if this is not the right place to send this. I did look but this seemed the best I could find. Is it OK to release earlier versions of classes, e.g. using SourceForge, or one's own website, and then work towards a PEAR release once standards are met? In the earlier cases it would be Open Source but with a voluntary request for donations if people found them useful. I have some PHP 5 reporting classes I built which enable me to replicate complex reporting with simple interfaces. All the best, Grant -- ___________________________________ Dr Grant Paton-Simpson Director, Paton-Simpson & Associates Ltd 16 Summit Drive, Mt Albert, Auckland (09) 849-6696 (09) 849-6699 ___________________________________
