Fighting pearweb

I've recently started fighting pearweb off my own bat. The darned thing is
... uh.. a little rough around the edges - if nothing else, i'm fairly
motivated to knock the rough edges off.

I'd like to start submitting patches for VerySmallFeatures, from making
workflow (account signup still scares me) much easier to adding
microformat-style markup throughout pearweb.

Looking a bit under the hood, though, I can see pearweb is in a half
refactored state, and arnaud on irc suggested I stick my hand up here. So if
there are small tasks (UI / design related, or refactoring X, Y & Z to
templates) tasks, etc that anyone would like to throw my way...

I'm GMT+930, Adelaide Australia time, as well, if anyone wants to talk via
irc / etc...

By a factor of three, what you do is not nearly as important as how it makes
people feel; so why do you spend almost all your time on the wrong thing?

Well we are mostly in the process of adding unit tests but we are searching
for a new design for pearweb (at least we don't say no to such proposals) if
you want to take on such an en dover

At least not much will go into pearweb until the tests are in a good shape
and then we'll tackle it hard and good.

Got a list of unit tests that need implementing, in that case?

look into the tests dir to see what's done and how it's done, then pick one
of the pear-database-* files and repeat :)

Could I:

- get someone here to take a peep @
http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=11106 and tell me if that's an
unreasonable request
- get some review/feedback on the attached test to see if i'm headed
in the right direction (for pear.database.note's add() method

Daniel,

I think it is a reasonable request, and for sure required for unit tests.
