Could > everyone who's still working on it give a hint to the list? just a few random thoughts i would add: * don't spend forever hammering out the perfect design. iterate on actually getting things done. * don't worry about integration with the main php.net site. it will happen in time. * however, if you do want to eventually mesh with the main php.net site and the network of mirror sites, you should absolutely not require database connectivity or any non-standard php extensions (including xml parsers) to display content that you want to appear on mirrors. generate static content using whatever tools you want and let that be mirrored. this also happens to be much more cpu-friendly for the mirrors, which is a nice bonus. oh, and really look at cpan and pause if you haven't already. they aren't the competition, they're the trailblazers. :) jim
