netPE Announced, netBB Update

I'm sure the majority of you have heard of PEAR (PHP Extentions Applications Repostory). I was looking thorught how PEAR worked and different things about its installtion. I decieded it's about time to give this monster a little competition. netPE (Internet PHP Extentions) is designed around the same was PEAR is except it's alot simpler and easy to use than PEAR. So far the Pre-Alpha version of netPE has a Database Module (PE::DB) that currently supports MySQL, I plan to add PGSQL Oracle and etc. support to it, also I will create a heavy set of development documentation so anyone can jump in and create their own module.

Since I gave you that tidbit of information I think it would be unfair not to give you an update on netBB. netBB development has slowed down tremendously since my life has taken over again and slowed my productivity down by 72%. Right now I've scrapped the old netBB Database Driver project and am making use of PE::DB, the autoQuery() functions really help in writing this monster. Right now I'm revamping the Skinning System in the PreAlpha 4 rewrite. When I get to an Alpha version of netBB I will realese a development roadmap which I hope will define where netBB is going.

I hope you enjoyed this long and boring news update! I will post any news as it arrives either in he forums or in the news, however important it is.
