The actual thing that makes it okay for us to override the lockout is that the project is stillborn: it was created 2223 days ago, and has had zero activity since. Specifically, no code was ever published according to the CVS log. > My project has been named Sigil for quite some time, the code just > hasn't been released.

I'd just like to point out that the two arguments you presented here don't have much weight in the problem: if you chose to name your project "Gnome", I'd have to refuse the project creation no matter how much you like the name. The same goes for stating you'll go somewhere else if we don't comply: if we feel that it would be wrong to give out a conflicting project name (eg. the "Gnome" example), and you disagree, then you're absolutely free and welcome to use another open source hosting platform. But whether you'll stay or leave has no influence on whether it would be inappropriate or not to duplicate an existing project name, and so is completely irrelevant, to be frank. That said, in this case it was a straightforward decision to create the project, since the other has nothing. So, enjoy your stay on Google Code! - Dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hosting at Google Code" group.
