Anyone notice that wxWindows now seems to be called wxWidgets? A letterI didn't bother you about that deeply, indeed there was a letter from M$ in AUGUST secretly to two wx people, which agreed with M$ without sufficient notice to the community to cease the name wxWindows. Robin Dunn, the owner, handed over the domain to M$, and Julian Smart signed something that he personally won't use the name any more (and obtained money of unknown anmount). Objectively, there's absolutely no reason to cease using that name, with that document or without (as even a core developer admits), but the domain is gone.
from Microsoft perhaps?
There was harsh discussion about the openness of that project, and I wasn't the quitest about that. I suggested to rename to wxJulian, but he decided to use wxWidgets(Yes this doesn't read as 'the community elected that name')
While the discussion was at its top, Julian commented on some discussion mails he didn't like as "making me vomit".
I'm still out of words (at least out of polite ones).
Regards, Andreas
