Hey Justin,

I guess most people have been a little too busy over the christmas
break.

The quickest way is to fill out the pecl account form on pecl.php.net.

It sounds like the license will be no problem, and I don't see why
we shouldn't include your extension in pecl.

--Wez.

PS: Posting directly to pecl-dev@lists.php.net makes it easier for
me to respond to your messages since I'm stuck with stupid OE which
borks on postings via NNTP :-)

previously posted on php.pecl.dev

I've posted a couple messages in the past week or so proposing an
extension
I'm working on to the pecl.dev list but no responses, not even a -1. Is
there a better way to make a proposal??

You can find it here...

The official name is now "opendirectory". Function names and constants
were
left with the ds_* and DS_* prefix, to closely match the C API
function
names. I still have some fine tuning to do but its ready for those who
are
interested in testing or viewing it.

p.s. Is something wrong with the pecl.dev list? I'm seeing threads in
the
web interface but not in my mail client - and vise-versa

Subject: New extension proposal - OpenDirectory

I'm in the final stages of developing an extension that wraps Apples
OpenDirectory Framework (for Darwin/Mac OSX) and would like to
contribute
it
to PECL. OpenDirectory is licensed under the APSL, which is apples
open
source license, and to my understanding it is a non-infectious
license.

As of now the ext's name is "directoryservices". I started writing
it
right
before "Panther" came out and so I may change the name to
"opendirectory".
It compiles (--with-directoryservices) fine in php-4.1x+ and in an
earlier
snapshot of php5 that I've been working with (around 200309xxxxxx).
Function
names are prefixed with ds_* and constants with DS_ which I would
like
remain that way even if the name changes to "opendirectory".

It may be about a month before I have it completely ready for PECL
but
I'd
like to get some comments and/or suggestions on how the APSL plays
with
the
PHP license and on the ext's name along with any other info that I
might
not
find on the PECL website.
