+1 > But we should act a decision before applying changes to the repos, I guess... Indeed - already people have started to rename plugins, even before this idea was brought up on the dev list.

Ideally - yes, I agree. However, I don't think this will be the case,if someone has taken an abandoned plugin, and spent a lot of time and effort improving it, I think it's only fair they would want their own initials against the name if it named after someone else. > As for people developing similar plugins (ie: facebook, flickr, etc).. I > think people should combine efforts and produce one high quality plugin. Again, I agree.. however, I think this is too idealistic. People have different methods to achieve the same thing - else we wouldn't have so many different PHP frameworks, web servers, languages etc. I think this has something to do with ego - and we shouldn't dismiss it just because you don't do your work for ego reasons. If someone thinks they can make a new project X under their own name, because project Y isn't quite what they want, and they think they can do better - then they will. If there was a standard prefix, this may well help mitigate this problem. If there's a usfFacebook, the second plugin would need to be called usfFacebook2 - it's obvious one was there first. However, if a 'random' prefix could be used, this wouldn't be the case. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group.
