Re: Adding Code to PEAR

Adding Code to PEARJust read this note at CPAN - "This module, CSS::SAC, replaces Berjon's earlier CSS::Parser module. This alpha has not yet been released to CPAN, though later versions will be available there." What is interesting is that it suggests that code in an "alpha" repository that gets "blessed" into the official CPAN repository. Would an alpha CVS repository (PREPEAR :-) with fewer restrictions on who contributes be useful for PEAR as well? Just a thought.

HELP OUT WHERE YOU CAN! OPEN SOURCE IS ABOUT GIVE AND TAKE, SO DON`T >JUST TAKE AND START CONTRIBUTING TO PEAR! You know what, I agree. So, HOW THE (rattin-frattin) do we DO IT? I have code I want to contribute, but you've made it very exclusionary to add code. Geez, the groups has written all this code, but not one of your has stopped to write a FAQ that explains how to contribute code. I have talked with Andre about some how-to's, but have received NOTHING back WRT feedback. I've requested karma from Rasmus, I've posted code and commentary here, and I'VE GOT NOTHING BACK FROM "YOU". I don't need Cache at this time, I need OCI8 and ODBC, and I (we at Insight, even) are planning on giving that code back to PEAR. "You" being the community and this list. So, Ulf, others, HELP ME HELP YOU :) -B
