You should just ask "is it an own project?". In both cases, cf+ and cf2 are different projects.There is nothing to discuss about - there are defined standards what a project is in the computer science and i know most of the people in all projects have the knowledge and education to see and understand it. For me, there was always no question that as long my work was part of cf, i called it "iso cf" - and in the moment i left i changed it. Its not a question about content, its a question of identification and respect. For me i can say that i played with the idea to name it "crossfire evolution" or something. When i would had did it, then with the explicit idea to do something like a "cold takeover". Takeover in terms of user and the fact crossfire is well known and established. I would assume that this is partly a reason why someone name a fork cf something. Just because it was something i was thinking about by myself, and i think thats a good reason to believe that other think it too. I did it not - but as i said - it was part of my thoughts. Even if you claim that this ideas are NOT part of the reason to name a fork cf something, you must be aware that people WILL think it because its the most logical answer. To assume something different is, sorry, naive. Again - that was my thoughts and as an established fork i can garantie that nearly everyone of our players and devs would think the same. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
