I don't like to reinvent the wheel, and since the opensrs-php project already exists, integrating phpdomain's GPLed code into opensrs-php's codebase is probably the best idea.Also, if enough people take on making improvements to the GPL version of phpdomain ... the one thing missing from opensrs-php is a set of standard templates and webpages, like the official Perl client comes with. If a suitable replacement gets built, I'd love to include it in the opensrs-php project.
I already did a short TODO list ... one is to offer multi-language templates and messages. I started the french version, but can't help for others.
I just subscribed to the devel list of opensrs-php project, may be we can continue the discussion there. Do you know of other opensrs lists where we should announce and post information regarding the eventual merging of opensrs-php and phpdomain codebase? May be there are other developpers out there interested in that ...
