i'd like to make a case for 'building the plone brand' not only for
the integrator/user audience (as we already are doing) but also for
the develeoper audience. let's not be too shy or modest here. borg is
as 'plonish' in regard to its cleanliness, documentation,
extensibility etc. as it gets (naturally, with martin being the
author). i think it could make sense to convey this by using the plone
namespace for it and i'm sure there are other packages, too.
coming up with eccentric namespaces in the beginning of a new
product's lifecycle is a good idea (we'd have to have three
plone.commenting products right now, otherwise, none of which is
finished...) but eventually i'd think it's a good idea to 'bless' a
package and bring it into the plone namespace. otherwise we'll just
'dilute our brand' for the developer audience.
of course, i'm still all for integrating 3rd party tools (and keeping
their name, of course!) but to 'simulate diversity' by letting our own
packages keep their initial, non-plone name when integrating them into
plone core doesn't strike me as particularly desirable (or
straightforward, for that matter), either.
just my $0,02 and i'd love to know what you guys think about it...
cheers,
tom

i completely agree. furthermore, i think using non plone.* packages
in plone emphasizes one of the points made in the whole wsgi/repoze
approach and the plone. (as opposed to plone.app.) namespace, which
is that re-usability is a good thing and we'd like other people
outside the plone/zope universe to start looking and potentially
using our stuff as well. in that sense i think we should actually
make a statement by integrating packages from the "outside world".
and yes, that's not particularly true in this case, but at least it
looks this way... ;)
