Playing around with yaml

[amnuts]

Looking into using yaml for come of the config files - config, rooms, and command help docs.

Could be a pre-cursor to having the users as a single yaml file per user (user details, mail, reminders, macros, etc.)

Did consider SQLite as well and having everything in there, but this seemed an easier route that people could still easily update without having to go through anything but a text editor.

I question the value of putting things like mail and/or chat logs into the same file as user setting data, etc. That said, a standard text format like YAML is probably a good idea.

@Uzume, I was thinking that direction just to have a single user file that's all self-contained - no more multiple-directories to read from for one user. What's your concern about having a user's related content in a file a single file for that user?

Agreed about yaml, and seemed to fit better in this context than json/jsonl. And would certainly make it much easier to add new properties to the user object than the specific structure it has now!
