Hi

For years I have been developing a package to make frontends for 
databases, using DB_DataObject_FormBuilder. You mostly just write a 
configfile in xml that then lets you list tables, list the contents of 
those tables, and edit/add/delete records from the tables.

The listview can be configured to show almost everything you want, the 
formview also, but this is done through DB_DataObject_FormBuilder.

For a long time I have thought of making it a pear-package, and finally 
I've taken the time to go that path.

If such a package would be usefull to anyone?
For now, find it here: 
<https://github.com/gartner/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder_Frontend>

I have setup a webpage with some examples here: 
<http://pear.quercus.palustris.dk/>. This page contains some examples, 
still just some simple ones.

Some proper documentation is still missing.
What format should the documentation be written in, if to be used in 
pear? Docbook?

Theres really not any tests either. I find the thought of tests really 
good, but I cannot really see how to start attacking that for my 
package. Perhaps the code is written in a hard-to-test way? Any help?

I would make this a PEAR-package, not a PEAR2. The code is written with 
PEAR in mind, and the packages it depends on, is also still just PEAR.

Any suggestions, help or comments is appreciated!
