I have to agree with this, Sextante has become a very recognizable "brand" I feel renaming it doesn't really bring any real benefit and users already know Sextante will be doing Analysis, my two cents with this

Sextante, in my opinion, is not different, so I dont see why we should change anything. The Sextante menu is called "Analysis" which makes sense. And Sextante toolbox seems to be a good name, as well as Sextante Modeler. Additionally, Sextante is a recognizable name for gvsig and Arcgis users. Considering that we can expect that a lot more users are going to start using QGIS after 2.0 is released, it would make sense the keep the Sextante naming Best regardsF.

In the long-term, that will help to integrate the analysis framework into QGIS,and help users locate it. It shouldn't be more difficult than just replacing string ocurrences, but before doing such a big (and potentially troublesome) change, I would like to hear the opinion you guys have about this (is it a good idea? what name should we use instead of "sextante" for packages and modules? any good refactoring tool that you recommend?,etc) I am going to be out of office next week, so I might not read my email everyday, but it would be great to hear what you think about it. Once I am back, I will proceed to change it, I discussed it briefly with Tim and Paolo, who agreed on this, so I assumme this is not incompatible with the API freeze and the release plan that we have, but if anyone thinks this shouldn't be done now, please say it. I personally think that it would be good to have it in 2.0, so all analysis stuff is called "analysis" (or whatever) and not with a name that (although I like and feel very identified with it) for most people doesn't make much sense... Thanks in advance.
