Of course, pecl is the no. 1 address for PHP extensions, who doesn't know? ;) > Otherwise, you can use sf.net, savahna, googlecode or any other site > providing these services.

They do work in a very different way. Copyleft is actually the reason the BSD License, PHP, free operating systems etc. exist at all. The idea of Free Software motivates me to write software at all, not just the fun of it (of course it's a lot of fun nevertheless). > By the way, we do have a yaml extension already which is used by many > frameworks. I know (php-pecl-)syck well, Alexey Zakhlestin actually encouraged me to use his implementation as an inspiration. Still, I haven't heard of any plans to have syck support YAML 1.1 and libyaml was written for this purpose and does its job really well so IMO it deserves PHP integration. -- alexander kahl _ developer
