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!

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.
