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...)

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...

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.

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!
