Ah - I didn't realize there were(is?) other projects out there with the same name. I certainly didn't mean to attack Python (obviously), just thought it kinda sounds like 'Struts for Java' or 'Zope for Python', etc. Going to 'Webware', with maybe a tagline kinda like 'Python Appserver' or whatever might be something to consider. But based on my other forays into this topic on other projects many people seem to have strong personal attachments to things like names, so I won't be pushing any further... (though I'd say there's a bit of precedent set from other projects such as Zope, and Java, Ruby, etc.. equivalents. but I suppose some might see that as more reason not to go that way.) -- ___________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
