Hi,

OK seems we have some agreements so far:

1. namespaces will be delayed at least until we have so many libs that we need it,

2. RPM or debian packaging shall not be used for dependencies, but an alternative has
    not been found yet.

I personally would prefer a solution that also works for other interpreters without that feature (given that some vendors may not wish or be able to implement it). That would most likely
mean some kind of convention such as:

Functions and globals vars shall be named xxx∆something for package xxx

There shall be an init function xxx∆init
There may be xxx∆provides and xxx∆requires functions for dependencies
... and so on.

I can write a document summarizing my thoughts about libraries and discuss it. There are many more aspects to consider, but we need to be pragmatic and simple,
otherwise the whole thing may not take off.

/// Jürgen
