Next steps in renaming

Hi,

after the announcements about the new name there are more things to do:

    1. Uploading new blends-dev package
       Changes are in SVN and need some fixes and testing.  I'll provide
       a transitional package cdd-dev which contains links to the respective
       blends packages.  I consider issuing warning messages inside the
       scripts if $0 =~ /^cdd/  just to make sure that everybody notices the
       change and will switch in the near future.  I plan to help the other
       Blends to enable a smooth transition.  I think these technical details
       are in good shape and under control.

    2. Moving the alioth project
       This was also requested in response to the announcement.  IMHO the
       best way would be to register a new project blends and move those
       parts from the project which are connected to Blends to the new
       project while leaving the old project for SimpleCDD.

    3. Mailing list
       I would proceed like above: Leave this mailing list for SimpleCDD
       discussion and ask for a debian-blends mailing list sounds reasonable.

What do you think?  Did I missed something?  If not I'll continue with these
steps.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

Re: Next steps in renaming

Hi,

just for the sake of peace, clarity & keeping down the flames: setup another 
doodle poll, invite debian-devel@ to it?

Explain in the invitation mail, why we choose "blends", and call the first 
option something like "follow choice of the team working on it, call it 
blends" and the rest "override team with choise $foo"?

Or make a more neutral poll (again) :) 

Or not.

regards,
	Holger
