This discussion has occured already. The conclusion was simple: the name won't change. Doug cut the talk saying that he won't change the name, and I must say I agree. That isn't to say your points are invalid, you're concern is justified. The solution here is not to change modperl's name. modperl, in a way, is a low level thing. It's "just" Perl + Apache. When in need of a convincing name, say "I use Foo" where Foo is the name of something that runs on top of modperl. "I use AxKit", "I use FooAppFramework", etc. can sound a lot better. Of course, on top of that you need a good looking website with marketing talk. In any case changing the name alone doesn't help. Website content welcome ;-) -- _______________________________________________________________________ Robin Berjon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Paranoids are people, too; they have their own problems.
