Hi, I don't intend to cause a big fuss, but I have a concern about the name of your project.
I first became aware of your project yesterday when I ran a Google search for the word "pharo". This is the name I had chosen for my open source PHP framework project back in January of 2008. At the time, the Smalltalk-related Pharo project did not yet exist, and the Google search results yielded nothing at all similar or relevant to the project I wanted to start. I purchased pharo.org that month (with trac.pharo.org, svn.pharo.org, and apt-trunk.pharo.org currently in active use) and made a teaser post about the project on my blog: http://www.webdevout.net/tidings/2008/01/15/the-pyramids-werent-built-in-a-day/ My intention is to release the Pharo PHP framework under a BSD license and not profit directly from the project. I have no stakes in preserving the exclusiveness of the "Pharo" name aside from avoiding possible confusion. But I do believe that the name conflict is an issue of concern, since both of our projects are directly related to programming languages. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
