(B> That said, I am welcome to the idea of building from ground up so that we

(BWell my view is that we arent making "yet another dist" - if we were we'd
(Bneed massive resources. if all we want is to take other peoples tools and
(Bjust change the name to E it's a pointless task. if all we do is take a dist
(Band add E packages - its a pointless task. wehy not just make E packages and
(Bconvince the dist to use them.

(Bi swee this as an oppotunity to do something quite different. :)

(B> Finally, while "Eunuchs" was sort of a joke (I wasn't surprised by the
(B> response), we do need to settle on a name for it. Ben's project names list
(B> posted to e-devel a few months back provides some excellent choices. Once
(B> there is a name, we can open an SF project and get the ball rolling.

(B2 things here. first - lets not start thisd without REAL DEDICATED people to
(Bhelp. if we want to make this happen - we need people - dedicated people who
(Bwill stick to it thru thick and thin and are prepared to do a lot of
(Bunrewarding HARD WORK. i personalyl have very little time - and until e17 is
(Bout i have major focuses elsewhere. i've partly been down this road before so
(Bi can offer advice on several things - but not everything by any means.
(B
(Bsecondly - i'd just go for calling it "e" 1 letter. short. simple. its the
(Bthnig that common amongst all e stuff :)
