      Hello Matthew! I am not sure that I understand what you mean? Do you mind explaining this further?

        Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Matthew means that:

        • the class names should be YouTube instead of Youtube (with a capital "T"), and
        • the _result() and _resultSet() methods may be better named _getResult() and _getResultSet(), respectively.

    The listByRelated() and listByCategory() methods do not seem to have corresponding API functions in the documentation. Are these functions really available, and the documentation is just not here?

    This proposed component will be superseded by the Zend_Gdata component because Google has acquired YouTube since the proposal was initially written.

    Ryan Boyd has informed us that he plans to add YouTube support to the Zend_Gdata component.

    When will this component be implemented, commiter into trunk?

    Upload video support is missing.
