Folks,
Last week I was in a kind of Java vs .Net conference. I and a friend presented the .Net architecture and in the end of the day a kind of Fight Club (tm) was presented. Some guy from the Java side said that MS included a statement in license agreement for VS.Net beta that read "VS.Net should not be used for development of Open source projects". While other projects cleary uses and exposes VS.Net entries in their projects I think ASF should protected itself.
I don't know if this statement stills there but I'll remove each VS.Net entries from CVS. From now the development will be eclipse-based.
I'm also in contact with mono-brasil (yes, at here my country is called brasil with 's') for adapting the nant build and have Avalon.Net be a CLI compliant.
I would like to ask again for a new name. The .Net suffix establishes a relation with a company that don't respect the open source community at all.
Avalon.sharp
Avalon#
Makes you wonder if we should brand it as a C# derivitive or simply call it Avalon. We have Java libraries and C# libraries. Hmmm.
But I agree we should not call it Avalon.NET.
One of the OSS idioms for C# projects is to prefix an "N" (NAvalon) to the name.
:/
Suggestions?
