Renaming the project - Githubissues

melrief commented 11 years ago

If we have intention to rename the project, I think this has high priority for module names reasons. From the emails I can see that we all agree on the beauty of hawk. The only "drawbacks" that I can see are not significant:

hawk has four letters, hsl and hsp only three (...)
awk is named so because of its developer Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan, hawk doesn't (at least, no P inside so I'm out :))

I agree on hawk but for the sake of completeness I think we should discuss also different names. Actually I have another idea: Haskell Line Processor ( hlp ): the fusion of hsl and hsp. Still three letters and can be also read as Haskell Lazy Processor reflecting the lazy nature of Haskell and the tool.

I'm cool with hawk. hlp is too much like help :-).

Lol right, I shouldn't be allowed to propose program names :)

gelisam commented 11 years ago

I thought we had considered and rejected hawk! But I like it :)

gelisam commented 11 years ago

It's not closed until the code is updated. I'm working on that.

Since we have discussed that we wanted to switch the licence to Public Domain, one of the changes involves removing Mario's copyright and references to the GPL everywhere. I'm doing it as part of the rename, because those comments all refer to HSProcess.

Just to have a public trace, could both of you please comment here and confirm that you hereby release your share of the code to the Public Domain?

Rename pushed to ssadler/hawk, branch "merge".
