The entry point should have a quick summary to avoid having too many links and sending users for basic information away. And linking to Wikipedia for information abut OUR infrastructure feels absolutely wrong, we should be able to explan what it is better than WP :-) > We can provide following links- > http://pecl.php.net/ > OR > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_Extension_Community_Library#PECL > > One more option is to show a small pop-up (just like as CVS on the page) > about PECL.
