I personally would not mind changing the name of gvSIG CE, but I am afraid that it is not my project, just a project that I support (and unfortunately not very actively, lately it's been more moral support than real work...) > > Well, as far as I know (I can be wrong) it was a forked version of the > bindings between gvSIG and SEXTANTE engine, not comparable at all with > gvSIG-gvSIG CE differences I am not saying the case is comparable, but the confusion it generated was large, specially considering that forking the bindings without adapting them to the new version of the core caused a great part of SEXTANTE to malfunction. And, since it was still called SEXTANTE and it was nowhere written that the bindings were a fork, it was seen as our fault. Fortunately, just installing the then current version of SEXTANTE solved all that... . I mean, you are blaming a project because > they have adapted the bindings of your library to work with the software. > The bindings were already adapted. And it seems that better adapted than the forked version... I am blaming the project for creating something that worked much worse than the original version and making people think that it was me who made it. > Regarding the gvsig.com reference to SEXTANTE, I think there won't be > any problem to update the links or reorder the contents, thanks for > the notice.

Might be akward and unfair...but as we published the ArcGIS version (largely critized by CIT), all mentions to the University of Extremadura disappeared from the gvSIG website (the banner was pretty cool, by the way :-) ). Curiously, the SEXTANTE blog was removed from the gvSIG planet much at the same time, although it was still posting important and useful information for SEXTANTE and gvSIG users. Thanks in advance for the update of the website!
