Well, easy or hard to do doesn't matter, when the benefit is not so clear to other people. I for example do not see anything that would be "amazing tomorrow". I just don't see the point in this. It is just work without amy benefit to me. No benefit for the user (only trouble if at all, if the user is using extensions that would have to be adapted), no benefit for extension developers (they don't care how it's namespace is, they need to find the functionality in the API), no benefit for core developers (again, why would the name matter). You only see the code, that's fine, but when you really want to change this, this means you have to change the complete API documentation, you have to tell publishers that they have to revise their books, etc. It's just not worth the time in my opinion. Regarding your point wrt. backwards compatibily is no problem since LibreOffice is so young: That just doesn't fit, as it of course has the 10 years+ of history of StarOffice and then OpenOffice.org - If you want OOo users to migrate to LO, you cannot just say "We don't care about what was before LO was born"... ciao Christian _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
