Pyrus/PEAR2? etc.) * Creation of working groups to move projects forward * Reviewing RFCs * Creating a mentoring program * Community outreach * Evangelists (Driven by Greg?) * Success Stories * porting peardoc to livedoc (mainly helping the php effort, has to be this summer, phillip has more details) * Website Look/Feel Redesign/Update * Some kind of news effort, weekly/bi-weekly/monthly, perhaps working with Steph, this would only be couple of people that would over see the project and other people should be able to contribute easily * Good way to get outside people more in sync what's happening in the community * PEAR's week of code (David) * Idea * Sponsorship * Priorities * Tools * how to keep track of all that (wiki, trac, other: basecamp, etc) ? * Wiki needs to accept pear logins, not require pear devs to register. * have a serendipity install or other to manage publishing news on the site (committing to cvs and updating the site is not the greatest thing). We can also have a PEAR official blog. * Some sort of Design Guide to go along with coding standards, this would be a more in depth guide covering some common patterns guidelines for class/method sizes etc, would also be non binding just a guide, would need lots of community help * Mission statement * have a wiki page with the mission statement (thread from october 2006 on pear-dev)
