-1 Tetsuya, the voting rules dictate this is a product change and is not Majority Rules, its consensus, which means even if the "I don't feel like going through all the code and changing it" crowd didn't have it, it STILL wouldn't pass even my -1. (Its a product change by virtue of changing all of the APIs to Poi). My -1 is based on the reasons stated earlier.
I don't mean to be curt, but I'm intensely confused by why this issue is more important than: 0. The like 50 serious bugs that need to be looked into many of which have i18n issues 1. The 2.0 Release 2. The 3.0 merge Please note that Nicola is not a committer any longer (this needs to be updated he should be listed as Emeritus) and Stefano never was (he was our sponsoring member/advisor). While I would -1 any attempt to remove him out of respect, I believe he has left the legal oversight to me at this point. -Andy On 7/27/03 12:07 PM, "Ryan Ackley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My issue with the name is really technical and I think Andy already > illustrated this point.
