Re: com web/php: Major homepage rework. The old layout prioritized all the wrong things. This rework is not complete, but after surveying multiple
people it does seem better already, so I decided to push.: View/HomepageNewsView.php in

It's important to put PEAR and PECL on our homepage as they're the most active parts of the site apart from the manual. We're also encouraging people to use PECL/PEAR code instead of rolling their own. I'd like to see a twitter feed of latest updates from pecl on the homepage somewhere too, I don't believe PEAR is as active (correct me if i'm wrong) so i don't feel it's necessary to be showing any tweets on that. - Paul.
