[PHP-dev 669] Fwd: [PHP-DEV] I18N

[Moriyoshi Koizumi]

小泉です。

別の所で php の国際化の動きがあるようです。
個人当てに来たものですが、了承を取りましたので転送します。

この ICU (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/) というライブラリが
気になっていたところにちょうどメールが来たので、正直驚いています。
まだ試してはいませんが、正規表現エンジンも実装しているようなのです。

そうすると、もし mbregex を更新するとしたら、
重松さんが前に教えてくださった
Ruby で使われているらしい「鬼車」をポートするか、
ICU のものを使うか、いくつか選択肢が出てきましたね。
ライセンスのことを考えると後者 (BSD-licensed) がいいかもしれないです。

ところで、話は変わりますが、sourceforge.jp からのマージについてはかなりせ
っつかれている事柄ですので、早めになんとかしたいです。
mbfl のライセンスに関して騒いでいるのは私だけだと思いますが...
