Joshua Eichorn has posted some slides that he presented at a local PHP User Group meeting just passed that serve as an introduction to PEAR.   I'm hoping to improve the slides a bit and give this presentation at lots of other places. If any PHP User groups on the west coast would like me to do a presentation about PEAR drop my a line.   To help further the cause of PEAR, he's also offering the slides in an archived file for presentation anywhere.

From the PEAR blog today comes a new post talking about the introduction of a much requested option when accessing the PEAR source code - SVN over CVS.   As part of the PEAR2 project we are making that happen. I'm happy to announce that we now have an SVN repo ready for testing. Web access at http://svn.pear.php.net with the SVN url being http://svn.pear.php.net/repo.   The access isn't quite available yet, but it will be as soon as they figure out how they want people to be able to access the parts of the PEAR2 source code. Keep an eye on the PEAR Blog for the latest.

Helgi has posted about the updates that have recently been made to the PEAR website (pear.php.net) to help correct some issues and bring in some new features.   I just did a new release of pear.php.net which has a bunch of new features and bug fixes, most of which you can see here.  Some of the updates include:  One column design instead of the 2 column design Usage of the YUI CSS reset + fonts The package list on http://pear.php.net/packages.php doesn't highlight deprecated packages anymore Now developers can see bug reports by unconfirmed accounts The RSS feeds now contain new line breaks! Patch uploading during ticket creation now works   He also specifically mentions some of the feedback he's gotten on certain things (like the new layout, the CSS of the site and the DES passwords) and explains some of the rationale behind their update/use.

Joshua Eichorn has released the latest version of his PEAR package, HTML_AJAX - version 0.4.0.     HTML_AJAX 0.4.0 has been released. You can upgrade using the PEAR package manager in the normal ways.   The biggest new feature is the addition of a setInnerHTML method that runs any JavaScript in the string your using to update and elements innerHTML property and the addition of an ordered queue. The ordered queue makes your AJAX requests return to the client in the same order they were sent. One of the biggest area's this comes into play is when creating livesearch implementations or any other time you're making lots of AJAX requests and overwriting the results of the earlier ones with the results of latter ones.     You can get more information on this release from the release notes or the growing documentation over at the HTML_AJAX wiki.

In a quick post to his blog, Lukas Smith notes his support of the recent announcement of the PEAR elections.   I am confident that both of the proposals will help in improving collaboration in PEAR, mainly because they basically provide the same organization we used to have for all of PEAR (which worked great in the beginning), now for categories of related packages.   He reasons that, since PEAR is such a huge project, it needs this kind of approach - a method to the madness - to help keep the project on the right path.
