Considering that there's already another proclog project, I'm not so sure. But the objection is more that I'd rather use the extra level than share the namespace I'm paying for anyway. >As another suggestion how about clj.handle.library e.g >clj.mired.proclog >clj.weavejester.compojure >clj.acme-corp.dynamite Why should I prefer clj.mired, shared with gods knows who over org.mired, shared with nobody? >This separates the clojure namespace from the java one, doesn't tie to >a TLD and reduces the chances of collisions at the library level. I'd say we should avoid TLAs for the TLD, given the IETFs preference for them. Given a clojure registry of some sort, just use clojure and share everything else: clojure.proclog clojure.compojure clojure.dynamite Or to be really beep-beep about it, I could probably arrange to get com.acme.clj and we could use that as the prefix for things in the registry. >Also, somebody mentioned dropping api/core from the core namespace in >a library. Personally, I'd be happy with that. Sounds like one of the things that comes from Javas class/file requirement. I've got no problem with ignoring that. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
