After such a big split, one could expect even more breaks. I was talking about the "convert note to documentation bug" feature (not an important part of the website, though, but a nice feature once it is online) that should have never been committed in the way it was committed. Anyway, this was just an example. Everybody might break something in the future, and we should be able to react quicker to such situtations.

Yes I was mostly taking mine as an example because it's been causing havoc :) A good demonstration as to why we need to fix this ;)

So perhaps more webmaster need to have terminal access so we can react faster ? There have been times where David and I are just helpless since we do know the cause, already committed it to cvs but have to wait for someone with proper access to fix the live site :) Be it by patching the file or rolling a minor release (iirc we don't do branches atm so when say 1.5 dev has started then it's a bit hard to do another 1.4 release) Both things (more webmasters, branching pearweb) could help, yes. More people with SSH access could also help to avoid these long downtimes of the server like last Sunday.

In the past a lot of pecl people had ssh access and could help us but since we moved to a new box I think that's not the case, or is it ? - Helgi
