:: I actually like the logo without the underscore. I don't :: think an underscore is very collaborative with art. The "_" :: has always been irritating me a little.
I don't see any reason why the underscore can't be incorporated "discreetly". I had an idea that we could have the "dp" together (like in the new logo) with a small underscore directly beneath them. :: I know that there is history and nostalgia involved here but :: dropping an underscore at least in the logo is a nice :: evolution IMHO. The whole "mod_" just happens to be the :: original Apache naming convention for modules, I believe, :: and let's not forget that the Apache folks never thought :: they would get the kind of success they have. Given the :: choice, I don't think they would have stuck with this kind :: of naming convention. This doesn't matter. The simple fact is, the name is mod_perl. It's established, known and the author has stated quite clearly that it will not change. :: The underscore really belongs to the "C/C++" language and :: isn't really so much of a standard in Perl. True, "Perl", :: "Apache" and "mod_perl" are all children of "C/C++" but they :: should have some independence - they are in their :: adolescence now (if not even adults). If the underscore "belongs" anywhere, then it also belongs in Perl. Jonathan M.
