Dave, please be aware of the fact that Cocoon lives on the value of its name and its license protects it. I'm personally happy if somebody ports Cocoon in other languages (people already did twice, for Perl and PHP) but I'll be personally pissed if they used 'cocoon' inside the name if they distribute something which is not coming *straight* from this project. So, whatever you end up with, please, don't call it 'cocoon#' or 'Cocoon .NET' or "NCocoon" or anything that contains Cocoon in it, unless you want to donate your code to this project and then the community will decide if we want to maintain two independent codebases written in two different languages. [but it would be easy to guess the answer] As far as C# goes, I think .NET does things better than java in a few circumstances, but for sure this is not a good reason to throw away those millions of lines of code we already have. So, at the end, all I personally ask you is to be respectful of our work by not abusing the name cocoon for your work. For anything else, expect great collaboration from me even if I'm not going to move my programming skills to C# just yet. [and people, please, no language-flamewars, ok? the world is beautiful because it's diverse, we just have to be nice and respectful one another] -- Stefano Mazzocchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
