author

[ianstormtaylor]

Can we change the author everywhere to be Segment.io since we're going to open-source it under our name? If so, I can write up a description and everything for us to use, just because I'm not sure where all the places I need to update in the code are.

[ianstormtaylor]

Also, can we make it under the MIT license?

And then let's also remove the licenses from inside the code files themselves, and instead just keep a single License.md in the root of the repository.

Ok, we need to make a small refactoring for this purpose. We will let you know when it's finished.

[ianstormtaylor]

Awesome, yeah feel free to just pull request whenever you get the new setup. And I'll be sure to pull request any changes I make too, just so that we both know what's going on

[yaro-atwix]

We've recently created a pull request with bugfixes and refactoring regarding the opened issues. Please, check this out.

[ianstormtaylor]

Awesome, just merged.

Question: is it necessary to have the segmentio_segmentio namespace, or can it just be segmentio? Thanks!

[yaro-atwix]

Actually, it's our coding standard and it's necessary in general to avoid namespaces conflict. For example, two different extensions can have the same name: 'checkout'. If there's no vendor name in the extension's title - we have a conflict. But when you use complete titles with a vendor name, you avoid situations like this. Example: 'apple_checkout', 'google_checkout'.

[ianstormtaylor]

ah gotcha! that makes a lot of sense. i think the namespace we'll want to go with then is segment_analytics

[yaro-atwix]

We need to refactor files names and some pieces of code. Working on this

[slkra]

Ian, this is going to take some time as we need to rename files and pieces of code. We need to increase the initial estimate a little bit.

[yaro-atwix]

I've just created a new pull request with updated namespace

[ianstormtaylor]

sweet, thanks!
