But it's not about "should we imitate C# or Java". It's about what's best for PHP. My opinion is that for PHP would be best to have namespaces and not packages. > From Portuguese Brazilian Wikipedia: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package > Translated to you.... In English, it says: A software package is a bundle of one or several files that either are necessary for the execution of a computer program, or add features for a program already installed on the computer or network of computers. > All you told until now in favor of namespaces are marketing related. > Just read your previous messages. OK, let's see - what is "marketing"? If it's "a set of efforts aimed at promoting better understanding and wider usage of PHP language" than I don't see how it can be bad and how it is not important to consider. If it's "an evil conspiracy of suit-wearing aliens to subvert PHP community to serve their evil alien purposes" then I know nothing about it but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with what I do. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
