hi all

I've missed most of this thread so forgive me if I've missed something or=
 am
heading off in the wrong direction.

=46rom what I gather a summary of this thread is about using mode=3Dreg o=
r
something similar in the url to invoke registration, is this correct?

=46rom my point of the view this would be a waste of time. Each applicati=
on
 that I use phplib on invariably has different requirements for registrat=
ion.
 For me it is easier to keep registration to it's own page where I can
 control error checking on the form fields, add/remove fields as I wish
 without having to worry about anything in phplib that might get
 broken/compromised in the process.

IMHO it seems like that the project has lost it's way a little in terms o=
f
what it should do, what it needs to do as a project as a whole and what
people feel it should do to best help them.

What I think needs to happen is to maybe have a more defined development
 path, possibly. For someone to say, right that's it for new stuff to go =
in,
 let's get it tested and out.
Just looking at the task manager on sourceforge shows the is very little =
in
the way of defined goals for each release. If something good comes up fro=
m
feature requests or from someones own development, then fine add it in as
long as it's not gonna put too much on the next release and only if it's =
for
the benefit of the project as a whole.

So for example it has been discussed about getting the latest dev out for
testing then release. I think this would be a good idea, but only as long=
 as
no more extra stuff keeps getting added in in the meantime. If we do this
we'll never get it our of the door.

The main aim of the next release seems to be to get it working with php4
sessions and register globals off. So we should get this tested, debugged=
 and
released. Then and, only then would it be time to move on.
