+== Overview ==
+
+This is a home for the code developed by various authors (Steve Howell, Clark C Evans, John Pywtorak.
+Please correct or add if I'm mistaken. See below for historic notes). The code had no home and seemed
+to be forking. As we have used, and intend to continue using, [http://www.yaml.org YAML] under Python
+we felt a warm development environment may help. We'll try to unfork the code ([http://meld.sourceforge.net/ Meld]
+should make this a less onerous task). It has been asked why we need a pure python version. Our intention
+is to provide both a pure python version with an option of using the same API into
+[http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck Syck]. I won't go into the advantages or disadvantages of either method,
+but there are individual circumstances where one or the other is essential.
+
+== Documentation ==
+
+The documentation will consist of two major levels. User documentation (i.e. python developers using PyYAML) and PyYAML developers.
+
+ * [wiki:PyYAMLLegacyUserDocumentation User Documentation]
+ * [wiki:PyYAMLLegacyDeveloperDocumentation Developer Documentation]
+
+== Subversion Repository ==
+
+We have an anonymous access subversion repository which you can access directly with the following (although trac allows you to view the source also).
+
+{{{
+svn co http://svn.pyyaml.org/pyyaml-legacy
+}}}
+
+== Download ==
+
+=== SVN Tarball ===
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml_svn_20040711.tar.gz Version of 11 Jul 2004: http://pyyaml.org/pyyaml-legacy/download/PyYaml_svn_20040711.tar.gz]
+
+=== Archive Tarballs ===
+
+==== Official Version ====
+
+The last official version
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml-SHowell-0.32.tar.gz PyYaml-SHowell-0.32.tar.gz]
+
+==== Work that has been carried out since 0.32 ====
+
+Mike Orr had started to work on changes including an excellent USAGE page. I've included the USAGE in the docs folder
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml_0.32_MONEW.tar.gz PyYaml_0.32_MONEW.tar.gz]
+
+Steve Howell wanted to have all data loaded as strings (I think) so this departed from TestingSuite spec
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml-SHowell-StringsAreKing.tar.gz PyYaml-SHowell-StringsAreKing.tar.gz] - Steve Howells changes to loads ints as strings 
+
+John Pywtorak added some patches (the effects of which can be seen in PywtorakPatches )
+for empty scalars and stripping trailing line modifiers for folded scalars (this tar is just the .patch files for load and stream) 
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml-pywtorakpatches.tar.gz PyYaml-pywtorakpatches.tar.gz]
+
+This version was the one linked from yaml.org (This is actually 0.30 as noted on the page linked to). 
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml_fromyamlorg.tgz PyYaml_fromyamlorg.tgz] - Deviations from 0.32 noted here YamlOrgTarball 
+
+==== Older Archive ====
+
+Old versions kept here for completeness
+
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml-SHowell-0.24.tar.gz PyYaml-SHowell-0.24.tar.gz]
+ * [http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml-legacy/PyYaml-SHowell-0.27.tar.gz PyYaml-SHowell-0.27.tar.gz]
