If possible I would drop the original reference to Ig (IRC-Galleria) in favor of something more explicit like: "binaryserializer" Regarding Github, I do understand this is much more appealing than PHP's svn. But, with the time being and more and more developers learning git, we will loose the advantage of a common repository in the future. Does someone have ideas, comments on how to better manage this? Apart from that, great stuff :) Cheers, Patrick
