Seems sometimes things get a little too focused around IRC, and I'm sure I as guilty as the rest... Given you can't have two plugins with the same name, then having a goal called the same as the plugin name should not be a problem. I don't get why you need to overload this with the alias concept. Seems wasteful... +1 to the goal name change as it saves typing and implies a default for that plugin. -Peter > If anyone thinks that could break existing installations, or that it would > not be backward compatible, we can keep the existing aliases, but I think > that having two names for a goal is a bit of a waste and not really easy to > maintain. > > Thanks, > St�phane > > > _________________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- jvz.
