When I got involved with Evergreen one of my questions was "What is
'open-ils'?" I found out it was an early name for the software code that
would become Evergreen.
I've been asking various people in the Evergreen community for a few
weeks, "What do you think about the idea of retiring 'open-ils'... for
example, moving to evergreen-ils.org (and have it also respond
toevergreenils.org, and redirect from open-ils.org), eventually renaming
the lists, IRC channels, etc.?" We reserved both domain names, by the
way. So far everyone I've talked to likes the idea (or at least agrees
with it). But that's still a small group of people.
So now I'm surfacing the question to this list. What do you think? Is it
time to have our web address, etc. reflect the name, Evergreen? I know
my own reasons for preferring the change (my early name was Pooh Bear,
but nobody except my mother calls me that any more...and you can't
Google me up that way), but I'm just one voice in the community.
You have my vote to retire open-ils.
