Nope and this is not required to distribute your package as PEAR package.

No, the tree you currently have in SVN (Kolab_Zpush/lib) is fine. You  
do not have much of a class structure in there at the moment so any  
further directories are not really needed. This could evolve further  
over time but I don't think it is necessary at the moment.

> which licence in the tag Licence ?

You released the code under the GPL so it should be "GPL".

> what i put in the <lead></lead> fields ?

Your own name for now. It does not really matter that much as we don't  
distribute the package over a real PEAR channel. We just offer it for  
download.

Cheers,

Gunnar
