It does not a claiming of a namespace, it's a usage. Obviously other parties are free to use it too. > You think so?

I think my worry with repoze.* is that it claims to want to be "plumbing Zope into the WSGI Pipeline"; that might be deprecated, but as it is, repoze as a project has some sort of direction, it's not just a group of contributors. Some of the software I've contributed under the repoze name is not very much related to this direction (e.g. repoze.formapi). > Plone people (and me personally) prefer to "own" a namespace.

I agree to some extent; but certain pieces of software benefit from having a real name. > Incidentally, I bloggedt about this stuff in the context of Plone > yesterday: > http://martinaspeli.net/articles/the-naming-of-things-package-names-and-namespaces/ Yes, I saw it; I'm not sure we're in alignment although I'm not sure we're not :) \malthe _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
