We could just let O'Reilly decide for us when they write the YAML book :-) If we go for watery animals, I'd vote for Orcas. Personal reason: I used to work on a project code-named ORCA. I still remember it fondly. Practical reason: It looks great in black-and-white. Symbolical reason: It is powerful, elegant, and human-friendly. Is at the top of the food chain - nobody would be able to come up with a YAML-killer. It eats whales (= old bloated systems) as well as seals and fish (= common applications). What more can one ask for? :-) Have fun, Oren Ben-Kiki |

Ok. Since I didn't get any feedback other than Oren's and since Prasanth's work is clearly much better than what we have, I've moved the prototype to the main yaml.org site... enjoy. Note there are alot of "incomplete" pages. I hope they don't stay incomplete for long... send me content and I'll put it up on the site (don't worry about the headers/footers, just send me an HTML fragment). For example, a page on the Java binding would be cool. Oren Ben-Kiki wrote: | If we go for watery animals, I'd vote for Orcas. Ok. I found an "infinitely cute" Orca via google and have copied it to http://clarkevans.com/tmp/orca.jpg I've emailed who I believe is the copyright holder, but we may not get a response. Two questions: (a) do you all like the Orca? Oren thinks that the dorsal fin is a bit too big... (b) does anyone know of a graphic artist that could make us an orca so that we are in the clear regarding copyright and have various image sizes? Best, Clark |
