My point stays the same: Wayang is a Indonesian proper name, which never should be translated To say that the world speaks English is a bold statement, at least not in Indonesia ;) I contacted Abby Kearns, CTO of Puppet, Inc - but no response so far
As example: Kafka translated into English means Jackdaw, but Kafka is also a well known Bohemian Novellist. Now Kafka is named after the Author, which is a intellectual property in Germany (Urheberrechtsgesetz). Therefore I vote to discuss this matter with the presidents office of the Apache Software Foundation and come to a conclusion, whatever the outcome is. Cheers, —Alex > On 24.
