To break it down: 1 Learn about PEAR. you can learn about PEAR by reading the mailing lists and the manual 2 Use PEAR. you can install PEAR packages by, well, installing them. No need for an account 3 Download PEAR Packages. ditto 4 Submit patches/bugs. This can also be done without an account, just open a bug at our bug tracker http://pear.php.net/bugs 5 Suggest new features. ditto 6 Have an idea for a PEAR Package (no code yet, or not yet complete) This one is poorly worded, and should be re-phrased - if you have an idea, but no code, then write the code, or post the idea to pear-dev 7 Browse pear.php.net. just need a web browser for this one. So in short, if you want to propose a package, leave all the checkboxes blank. Thanks, Greg
