"Details baby, details" said the transvestite in "The Crying Game" (my wife made me watch it)
Ha! I just deleted that explanation from the page. That decision was made a looong time ago... Either is acceptable in "speech". If you like abbreviations then its an abbreviation. (Marc liked having both. I wanted the abbreviation for marketing to the open source community that we weren't propagating the file formats, Stefano claims to hate abbreviations) For all sourcecode its POI. I won't budge on this.. Why? Because I don't want to go through all the code and change it.... I want it to be consistent... And I'd LIKE to think we have better things to do. Additionally I like it all caps for another reason. In portuguese and some other languages "poi" is a word like "for" or "or" or something... To see this google on "poi" rather than "jakarta POI" and see what you get. (google isn't case sensitive but other things are). In any case. Lets just de-emphasize what the abbreviations mean (if you couldn't figure out that�s what I'm trying to do). This is the important issue. I really would prefer if we didn't have votes except on really important stuff. I think its totally fine if Tetsuya wants to put "Poi" in the docs as the title. Lets not sweat the details... :-) -Andy On 7/19/03 11:00 PM, "Tetsuya Kitahata" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > All, > > How about puttin' the [VOTE]?? > > Sincerely, > > -- Tetsuya ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- AIM# tkitahata > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > On Sun, 20 Jul 2003 12:31:08 +1000 > (Subject: POI to be known as Poi?
