I agree, this sounds like a win-win for all involved (as per James / Guillaume's post).
As a name submission I'd like Carafe (pronounced "karaf"). A carafe is a small container used for serving wine and other drinks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carafe). In similarity to the name the Kernel allows applications to be more easily handled, and improves their characteristics (much like a bottle of wine left to breath in a decanter) :) Jamie On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 2:46 PM, James Strachan <[email protected]> wrote: > Agreed.
