Hi All,
Taking into consideration your feedback and on the advice of Richard
Stallman, I have decided to accede to J.D. Edwards demand that I change the
name of the JDE. I plan to send a letter notifying them of my decision
tomorrow.
I have decided to use JMode as the new name of the JDE because it has an
Emacs flavor, is not trademarked in the U.S., and has received generally
favorable comments from JDE users. I have asked Sunsite Denmark to provide
me with a new set of domain, mailing list, and repository addresses based
on jmode. To ease the transition to the new name, I have asked Sunsite
Denmark to redirect the old addresses to the new. I will let you know as
soon as the new addresses become effective. I will start changing the name
on the JDE website pages and in the documentation over the next few days. I
have not decided whether to change the name in the source code yet but I
probably will ASAP to avoid confusion.
If you can think of anything else that I can do to minimize the impact of
this name change on you, please let me know.
Regards,
Paul
