Hi Benjamin,
I chatted with some other Pig developers today. The consensus is to
incorporate Sausage into Pig SVN, under "contrib". So when you're
ready go ahead and submit a patch on Jira.
About the name: as I recall the discussion about Pig as an offensive
name concluded along the lines "the name does not imply eating pigs,
so there's no issue." That's the reason I thought we might want to
shy away from sub-project names that do imply eating pigs. I
personally like the name Sausage -- it's very cute! -- but perhaps we
should err on the conservative side. Does anybody have strong
feelings either way on this?
About Pig-Pen and the boxes-and-arrows editor: It looks like it
should be fairly easy to integrate that with Sausage. After Sausage
gets contributed to Pig SVN we'll do a patch to add the boxes-and-
arrows editor, and then go from there.
Cheers!
-Chris

Hi Benjamin,
Fabulous! Please rename it to something that doesn't imply
consumption of pork meat (people have expressed concerns about
this earlier). Thanks.
I and Shubham Chopra have also been working on an eclipse plugin,
called PigPen. So far we've focused primarily on a "boxes-and-
arrows" editor for Pig Latin scripts, so it's probably
complimentary to what you're doing. It would be great to join forces.
Yes that would be great :)
I'm also part of a company [1] involve in eclipse (especially the
EMF/GEF part of eclipse)
Collegues have created an open-source editor for Airbus call
"topcased" [2]
Their experience in "boxes and arrows" editors might come handy ;)
They will be present at the next eclipsecon, you might want to meet
them ;)
Regarding adding to pig svn, I vote yes, but perhaps we can first
look into merging the two efforts (sausage and pig pen) --- I can
tell you more about pig pen in a follow-up email.
