Ironruby core - Sep 2007 - C# YAML parser status?

Hi IronRuby folks

I''m interested in contributing to the IronRuby project. I see John Lam
has
one good contribution would be in the form of a C# YAML parser.

My question is, has work started on a YAML parser yet? If not, would it be
kosher to base the C# implementation off of the open source Jyaml
implementation (Yaml for Java)?

I know the JRuby guys spent alot of time on the YAML library.  They
eventually moved to a pure Java implementation for performance reasons.  One
of the major issues was keeping compatibility with how SYCK works on the
Ruby implementation.  I believe there are still some edge cases in JvYAML
that are not fully compatible between JRuby and MRI Ruby.

I think this is a good question.  Do we have any issues basing a new library
off of an existing open source code base?  Are issues like this covered in
the contributor''s agreement?
