Hi All: The more I think about it and read it, the more non-English and odd the word "filesystem" feels to me. I would never write: 'Do this or that with the filesystem.' It just sounds Dutch or German to me. That's what I get for working with Dutch people :)
I am not the guardian of the English lanugage (and neither is Wikipedia), I do not see compound nouns in English like as I do speakers of other languages use them. About the Wikipedia entry: They do say "often also written as filesystem" but so what? Wikipedia says a lot of things... I am kinda ranting on this one because I think names are very important.

Thats true but its often written as one - see wikipedia "A file system (often also written as filesystem) is..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system ...and I think it gives better emphasis that way. Also JCI was released with the same naming (which IO was initially based on, before a complete refactoring): http://commons.apache.org/jci/apidocs/index.html Niall > Gary Gregory > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Niall Pemberton [mailto:niall.pember...@gmail.com] > Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 21:31 > To: Commons Developers List > Subject: [VOTE] Release Commons IO 2.0 based on RC3 > > I have prepared Commons IO 2.0 RC3.
