I think this is not your lack of CVS abilities. It's just a fact that the
stable and development tree is not really up to date. There was alot of
activity a year ago, but for some reason working on the tree faded out.
Already 1 or 2 years ago it wasn't so easy to find somebody who would
organize and structure it a bit more, as I understood at that time. Since
a year, as said before, activities faded out.

But NOW, now it looks like interest is growing again and I am happy to see
that there are some ambitious people (don't need to name them, just look
at the list archive for the past time) who seem to take control of it now
again.

I think this is the main thing at the moment: strategical decisions need
to be done, a new release needs to made (including session4 stuff as well
as the currently improoving session4_custom) with better instructions how
to install all of its components properly. Only by doing so acceptance by
new users will be achieved. I am not an phplib expert, but I am happy that
I found this library almost 2 years ago now. Since then I use it very
succesfully and I think it has alot of potential. But only with a bigger
user community it will have a chance to survive and prevent us from
migrating to PEAR!
