<br>
After much thinking and considering some suggestions, I think it would<br>
be a good idea to remove the SEXTANTE branding, and just have<br>
everything with a more descriptive name, such as "geoanalysis",<br>
"processing", or something like that. In the long-term, that will help<br>
to integrate the analysis framework into QGIS,and help users locate<br>
it.<br>
<br>
It shouldn't be more difficult than just replacing string ocurrences,<br>
but before doing such a big (and potentially troublesome) change, I<br>
would like to hear the opinion you guys have about this (is it a good<br>
idea? what name should we use instead of "sextante" for packages and<br>
modules? any good refactoring tool that you recommend?,etc)<br>
<br>
I am going to be out of office next week, so I might not read my email<br>
everyday, but it would be great to hear what you think about it. Once<br>
I am back, I will proceed to change it,<br>
<br>
I discussed it briefly with Tim and Paolo, who agreed on this, so I<br>
assumme this is not incompatible with the API freeze and the release<br>
plan that we have, but if anyone thinks this shouldn't be done now,<br>
please say it. I personally think that it would be good to have it in<br>
2.0, so all analysis stuff is called "analysis" (or whatever) and not<br>
with a name that (although I like and feel very identified with it)<br>
for most people doesn't make much sense...<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Victor<br>
