> Currently am getting together seven or eight PEAR modules for debian packaging.  Some of these packages have already been created by a fellow packager.  A few others are being created in the next couple of weeks.  This group of packages will be co-maintained by myself and the other debian packager mentioned herein.   Our next thing to do is find a most appropriate home for this collaborative effort.  We do know that it will be within Alioth, but uncertain as to exactly where within Alioth.

Alioth mentioned the advantages of this as being less overhead when expanding existing projects.  Also noted is that larger projects tend to live longer/more meaningfully.  Perhaps most pertinent to the request is that PEAR ('P'HP 'E'xtension and 'A'pplication 'R'epository) is all about PHP.

Sure, we already have several PEAR modules in our repository.
