I focus on making it happen and function, even if we call it "Project cosmic flower". I'm not a native speaker of English myself, nor ever lived in a country where most citizens are. Also, please let's move back to and stay on the xwin alias. You misinterpreted my messages. The name FullyOpenX was once invented by Alan Coopersmith. And I said we should adopt this naming for Xsun, and hence call it FullyOpenXsun. That's what my proposal looked like. All the rest came afterwards. I thank Mark for setting it up in a professional manner and for posting it on genunix. p.s. The anglification-problem is the same where I come from and where I now live, if all that matters at all on a technical list (germany and Ukraine). I put xwin into CC once again. Martin
