Sorry :)
I read this doc.
I didnt find  how to name  php modules or classes  that arent  pear modules.
ex. adodb,, now is  libphp-adodb   will we keep this ?

I wrote this email , just  as one resume, :)

I think we need see Pear like one framework  or a big project made with 
littles modules or packages.
Pear project  control your modules and its impossilbe has 2 modules with 
same name or equal files.

If  I make one package,,  ex,,  libphp-mail  or libphp-net,,   these 
packages will conflict  with  pear packages,  because pear create 
/usr/share/php/Net  ,

Then  I think  its better  put  pear packages like one big project and 
put all files in one directory,,  ex. /usr/share/php/pear.
