But rejoice, as a new repo is now maintained in its own organization : ! :) Installation ============ [](#installation) We are suggesting you to use composer, with the following : `php composer.phar require wisembly/elephant.io`. For other ways, you can check the release page, or the git clone urls. Documentation ============= [](#documentation) The docs are not written yet, but you should check [the example directory](https://github.com/Wisembly/elephant.io/tree/master/example)to get a basic knowledge on how this library is meant to work. Special Thanks ============== [](#special-thanks) Special thanks goes to Mark Karpeles who helped the project founder to understand the way websockets works. ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity41 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community30 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 70.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
