:) I can tell from this that David is in an optimistic mood and Adam is not having the best of days :) I agree with David that a derivative of a brand isn't a good idea. A quick look around for precedents gives us arguments both ways, eg with gvfs we have gphoto using, you guessed it, gphoto:, while the guys working on ipod stuff seem to be going for afc: (Apple File Control), which I guess leans towards using rapi:, but not quite the same thing. As to it getting replaced or forked, since what we're dealing with isn't an 'official' protocol like http, I don't think it's something we can hope to control. Get bored ! Shame on you ..... :) So as a concept, sounds like something we want to do yes ? I get the general impression our user numbers are going up, so it's probably better to do sooner rather than later, confuse less people that way. Mark
