Quoting Tim Cook <twcook@iswt.com>:
While you may / may not have a legitimate stand on the name change. This is the wrong 'string to pull'. This is in fact consistent with the open source nature of the product. There comes a time when a decision needs to be made. It gets made by the benevolent dictator, at the time he/she/it decides. It's part of the process. (Yes, I used the contraction properly too!). <g>
I know (even before I read Michel's and Tim's messages), that I've mistakenly used the term open source in my argument. Perhaps I was thinking of the fishbowl process DC has put into place to allow a more open development process and public participation in decisions in general. Sorry for the misuse in this case. I certainly prefer an excellent open source product with bad naming conventions over a closed source product with good ones. I suppose I am most interested in consistent, representative naming. With Michel's explanation of the Python "Method" and generic script, I'm more comfortable with the name. I am, however, interested in what will be done to make ther other "Methods" less intimidating to new users as Michel argued was one reason for using Script. Will we end up with DTML Documents and DTML Scripts, SQL Scripts, etc.? Thank you, DC and Zope community, for a great product. I would use it even if they were called "little bits of Python code." :-) --- Ron
