[symfony-users] Generating model layer from REST methods

Hi, We are building an API layer as the interface to all the data in our platform. This would extend to the web site using this API to fetch data. Symfony currently builds model files by looking at the DB schema. Is there a way to generate model files in a similar manner using API methods?

[symfony-users] Improve plugin:install method to not use PEAR

Hi, Installing plugins via the plugin:install method seems to require more time battling PEAR than it should. Would it be possible to update the plugin:install method to use SVN or similar technique (rsync perhaps?) that avoids using PEAR? The biggest problem I see with using SVN is possible
