Fox is the name of a form processing script for PmWiki. Just like Gemini, Triad, FixFlow: names for scripts, not brands. I choose Fox because it is very short and I wanted something short for use in the markup. Three letters was about right I thought. And I wanted a name one can easily spell and pronounce. Also Fox could be read as an abbreviation (?wrong word?) for FOrm processing eXtension. I hoped it would be mnemonically easy, but never thought of it as "brand". And as to other pages carrying that Fox- prefix: They are all demonstrations of what can be done with it, i.e. specific applications, documenting its use. Oh, and Fox is a cute and clever animal. Perhaps related to Cayote the Trickster as in Reineke Fox? :-) But I never thought that when deciding on the name. If brand just means a recognised name then perhaps we do create recipe "brands". But I associate "branding" and "brand name" with commercial promotion of a product. And so far I have not associated PmWiki and its modules with this. ~Hans _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
