Hey Christian, Setting up an apache pear repo sounds like a great plan, but I'm not entirely sure shindig would fit in well since it's quite a large project that does things like rendering gadgets, implements RESTful and JSON-RPC API's and takes quite a bit of custom code to integrate into your (social) site.
In my mind pear is much more library focused, and while shindig is something you would add to an existing site, calling it a 'library' would be taking a lot of liberty with the concept :) -- Chris On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Christian Hammers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > Over at the log4php incubator project we are planning our first release > and thought about offering our package via a PEAR repository as well. > > As you have PHP code as well, we wondered if you have already discussed > setting up something like pear.apache.org.
