PEAR Magazine: How Should We Run PEAR?

How Should We Run PEAR?

Greg called for an official referendum on the future of PEAR, you can elect how pear should be run. You, mean anyone who is able to login to the pear.php.net website and and must have "pear.dev" karma. I think this is very important for the future of PEAR, and could change the way how the project work in the future and certainly for the benefit of everyone. There is three resolutions, to keep the PEAR group as is, or choose between Greg Beaver's constitution and Anant Narayanan's constitution.

This will change the way how decisions are made, decisions such :

How should PEAR handle coding standards for PHP 5, PHP 6 and beyond?
Who handles acceptance of new packages?
What defines quality, and who enforces QA in PEAR?

Voting for the new structure of PEAR has commenced. If you are a PEAR developer, please register your vote for the future direction of PEAR at http://pear.php.net/election/info.php?election=6&vote=1. The voting will conclude on March 8, 2007.
