Unfortunately, I didnt expect PLA to please everyone each release (as it has just gone though some major changes). I have however maintained the expectation, that if it can be improved, then a patch would be supplied by the PLA user(s) to resolve any disappointment (if they really cared to make it better). As an LDAP admin, I've changed PLA to work the way I want it to work for my usage, keeping a few guidelines in place (so that I think other people would find it valuable too). I have also maintained a principle (in the open source spirit) that if somebody submits a patch to make PLA better (while maintaining those same guidelines), I will happily accept their patch or modify it to suite. As a result a lot of PLA that I actually dont has been brought to life this way - the hooks system is one example here. You made a comment that the "the way hooks are used changes often"; I've been developing PLA for over 2 years now (I think), and I havent changed the hooks system once in that time (however there have been patches from users who fixed it when I broke it; as I dont use it). So what changes are you referring to? Ryan, if PLA can be changed to work better with the way you want to use it, then submit a patch for review. This is why PLA functions they way it is today. (Keep an open mind if your patch doesnt get reviewed "quick enough"; I (and the other developers) have a full time paying job, which Im sure you'll appreciate gets priority...) ...deon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
