any FAQ and wish list type information that can't find a home on the PECL page. 
There is also a Google mail list http://www.groups.google.com/group/phpsoa 
for the extension where you can ask questions and make suggestions. 
We're very interested in getting your comments or any feedback that 
you may have, either on the mailing list, or if you prefer, directly to any of

In this project, active development for each release takes place in a CVS branch. 
The name of the current development branch is maintained in the file 
DEV_BRANCH in the root directory of the project in the CVS repository. 
You can see it at
