Hi Nick,
First of all, thanks for your approach....
I have couple of suggestions....let me know what you think...
- Update the Metadot 4.0B code to reflect the new name "OpenMetadot" version 1.0
- GPL it like old Metadot used to be
==> It will be confusing for people who are learning for the first time about this and go to www.metadot.com and get lost. Obviously Metadot Corp will not help out the OpenSource community much longer.
==> reserve www.openmetadot.com or org (let me know if you want me to do that and host it running OpenMetadot)
Let me know what you think. I am not sure if we can break GPL agreement by doing that (are we?).
I will contribute whatever needed to make this possible.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have actually been working on these things. The reason you only sighted
..com and .org is probably because you saw that .net was taken, I have
registered that name and have setup a copy of my new CVS version of metadot
there. I have some graphics people I know working on an OpenMetadot logo
and will be replacing all mentions of Metadot in it with OpenMetadot and
indeed the first initial release will be OpenMetadot 1.0.
