I prefer the hub.qgis.org, since my main aim is to put it where the
rest of QGIS is managed, to make it more homogeneous

I was thinking of changing the name of the main menu to somethiing
like "analysis".
However, I cannot change the SEXTANTE name. SEXTANTE stands for
"Sistema EXTremeño de ANálisis TErritorial", and it is being payed by
the goverment of the Extremadura region in Spain. I guess they will
want to keep their name and identity...or otherwise remove the
fundings that allow me to work on it...

I do not see a problem anyway. Just like the email client in Mozilla
is called Thunderbird, the processign framework in QGIS can be called
SEXTANTE. As I said, renaming the main menu name can be a good idea to
make it easier for users to find it, but then I would like to keep
then "SEXTANTE toolbox", "SEXTANTE modeler", etc, menu entries
