Cases in which it is better to improve existing packages
There are two kinds of packages that are not likely to be accepted as
new contributions to PEAR:
A package that duplicates an existing package very closely
A framework or other full-fledged web application
There are exceptions to the duplication rule, for instance a package that
requires a higher PHP version, and takes advantage of newer versions in PHP
will definitely be considered seriously. Also, packages that provide a completely
new paradigm for accessing the same thing are a good candidate for consideration.
Frameworks or other applications may also be considered if they are developer
tools, such as phpDocumentor. However, if you have a great idea that you think would
fit into PEAR, don't let this document discourage you. PEAR developers can
be surprisingly open to new ideas. Remember, the best ideas are well documented
and carefully presented. Be prepared to have patience and thick skin! We are
a picky bunch about quality, but in the end we will all learn a lot and develop
some stellar code in the process.
As the parameters for proposing a package change, this site will be
regularly updated.
