In my mind, I just had a scenario play out wherein someone covets their project name, while their nemesis plots stealing it. Taking the name is an important first step for a project. I can see why the policy is in place.

Although, I still don't see the argument in not deleted totally empty projects; which there are a decent amount of. If there's code, sure, save it. If it's empty, someone else can make a new project anyways so there's no loss. /Robin -- Robin Monks Developer of spiffy things. http://robinmonks.com On Tuesday, 17 April, 2012 at 3:18 PM, Greg Knaddison wrote: Well... http://drupal.org/node/1536822 Cheers, Greg On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 1:37 PM, Joel Farris <[email protected]> wrote: Oh, so we don't *need* to use the webmaster's issue queue after all. ;) -- Joel Farris Transparatech.com "There are no mysteries here."
