• Each extension must be listed in this file under "List of extensions" above.
• Each author should be listed in AUTHORS along with the extension name.
• It would be good to have all extensions BSD licensed; otherwise make a note in an ext/LICENSE file.
• Each extension can maintain a changelog and readme file; these files should be called ext/CHANGES and ext/README, respectively.
