Happy birthday PEAR! PEAR is turning 5. - Tobias Schlitt - PEAR turns 5 on Mon, 22 Nov 2004 06:20:21 +0100 in Thoughts of an Evil Mastermind PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository turned 5 years today (the first code line was commited at 22.11.1999). PEAR is a great source of many reusable PHP classes (my favourites being HTML_QuickForm and DB), and it offers simple package depende... - PEAR is turning 5 on Mon, 22 Nov 2004 19:18:55 +0100 in Pierre Minnieur Quoted from the PEAR website (and seen at Tobias Schlitt's Weblog):As of PHP 4.3.0, PEAR is an officially supported part of PHP.

Et le projet va bien pour certains et mal aux yeux d'autres. Passez outre la floppée de critiques facile, il en subsite certaines tout à fait valables. La première montrée du doigts la documentation. Déjà que la taduction en français à la quelle j'essaye de contribuer tant bien que mal est "broken" depuis plus d'un mois. Je jette à l'occasion un appel à la contribution : Si certains d'entre vous utilisent certain package PEAR donc la documentation n'a pas été traduites, je veux bien intégrer toute traduction que vous feriez à partir des pages web. Il suffit de m'envoyer l'url de la page que vous avez traduit. Et la traduction en txt,OOo, rtf, html ,... comme vous le sentez. Si c'est la doc qui n'existe pas, et que vous vous sentez capable d'y contribuer, n'hésitez pas non plus. Je suis personellement persuadé que les rédacteurs responsables des doc de chaque packages doivent être en relation avec les codeurs. Mais être des utilisateurs et non des concepteurs du packages. Enfin si vous voulez aller plus loin pour la doc ou pour le reste, pensez que critiquer c'est plus facile mais moins constructif. Pour finir. Je pense faire prochainement un petit sondage sur "pour quoi n'aimez vous pas PEAR ?" Parce que j'en ai marre des critiques faciles, des "moi je fais mieux". Et donc il faut des bases pour savoir où travailler à l'amélioration du projet. Donc si vous avez des idées (pas des réponses) pour ce sondage.... commentez ce post. ... - 3 years of blogging on Sat, 30 Sep 2006 11:58:02 +0200 in Tobias Schlitt - a passion for php Yes, it's true, exactly 3 years ago I wrote my first blog entry.
