Re: Re: downloads...genuine?

<snip> I agree with much of what Manuel said here. #1 PECL is still lacking in visibility. Lets just say PEAR put alot of marketing into its popularity. Of course the fact that PEAR means 3 distinct things helps as well (a repository, an installer, a set of core classes). #2 The PECL website is lacking in useability. For example there are no direct links to documentation and binaries. While on the topic of binaries has there been any progress on adding binary install support for PECL in the PEAR 1.4 installer? #3 Aside from that I am sure the IBM SDO people have a few articles in their pipeline in PHP magazines. Blogging about SDO will of course help as well. #4 Its kinda difficult to talk to IBM about any of their OOS projects until they propose a sensible path to deal with their IP concerns. While I doubt many people stumbled over this, I do know that this is a problem. It certainly was for me. regards, Lukas
