I closed the poll [3] a few minutes ago. The outcome was: * Support: 23 * Oppose: 1 * Neutral: 5 Consequently I've removed my self -2 from the gerrit patch [2] and will attempt to get it reviewed and deployed soon. Once the new namespace is created I will also move pages that are currently named Nova Resource:Tools/Tools/* to Tool:*. Other tool pages can be moved on a case by case basis.
