Overview

As in most other open-source projects, the support is done via mailing lists. In our case, we currently have five PEAR related mailing lists:

• General list

• Developers list

• Documentation list

• Webmaster list

• Documentation list

• CVS commit list

The first four lists are intended to help you, if you have questions. Pleas read below to get to know, what list fits to your needs. The CVS commit list is intended for people that are contributing to PEAR: All commits to our revision control system (CVS) are send to this list.

You can subscribe to the PEAR mailing lists via this website.

The General mailing list

The PEAR general mailing list is the mailing list, where you ask, if you have a question about installing PEAR, using a certain PEAR package etc.

The list is no support forum for question concerning the usage of PHP. Please use php-general@lists.php.net instead.

The Developers mailing list

As the name already tells you, this list is the place where the developers of PEAR come together to make decisions, to discuss about code and to handle things that are related to this.

If you are no developer of PEAR itself, this list is of no real interest for you, unless

• you want to get to know what's going on behind PEAR

• you want to contribute code to PEAR

• you have found a bug in a PEAR package and want to supply a patch for that.

The adress for this list is pear-dev@lists.php.net.

The documentation mailing list

This list is the place, where all the things concerning the PEAR documentation, the manual etc. are discussed.

If you want to help out documenting PEAR packages, don't hesitate to drop a mail there.

The Webmaster mailing list

If you have found a problem on our website or have a question concerning the site, you can mail the guys on pear-webmaster@php.net.
