Dear googe-code-hosting-team, I am not sure if this is premature acting and whether you are responsible for cases like this at all. Maybe you can give me advice, anyway.
On behalf of a small group of developers am trying to obtain the google code project name "applause" for our current and future achievements (see below). I have already contacted the owner of this project, Iesa Maliek, but I am not sure if I will get an answer about this issue soon. Neither his google code user profile (http:// code.google.com/u/iesamaliek/updates), his twitter account (http:// twitter.com/iesamaliek) nor his blog (http://iesamaliek.blogspot.com/) indicates any activity for over half a year. The aforementioned project itself seems to be abandoned right after it has been created in late 2008. Is there a way you can contact Iesa in this matter? Are there any intended steps to reassign that project in case he does not respond? Looking forward to your advice. Regards, Heiko Begin forwarded message: From: Heiko Behrens Date: 20.

Together with some colleagues we are planning to separate from http://code.google.com/p/iphonical/ (a framework for model driven development of iPhone applications) and are looking for a proper project name to push model-driven development for mobile devices. We will implement a development environment based on Xtext (www.xtext.org), Xpand (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xpand) and various other projects we are involved with as a showcase. Since our goal is broader than just the iPhone+Android and since we want to target mobile apps in general we thought that "APPlause" would be a good match. If I got this right, you are the project lead of http://code.google.com/p/applause/ . As far as I can see, the project is not under active development but has only be created in late 2008 to reside there untouched. I am kindly asking you to yield the project applause to us. Even though we will do CRUD operations, our efforts will be independent from your current ideas, though. We are only interested in the project name and are not planing on continuing your code base. Please let us know what you think, Regards, Heiko -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Hosting on Google Code" group.
