Hi Oleg, I’ve been in touch with Seyhan, who had the first-come indexing permission on the Date namespace. He was happy for the first-come permission to be transferred to you, so I’ve just done that on Seyhan’s behalf.
Please remember that there may be people using your Panda::Date module, who would appreciate having a documented migration path from Panda::Date to Date. Maybe after you’ve released Date, you could do at least one more Panda::Date release, which marks it as being no longer supported and lists the differences between Panda::Date and Date. And then you could do a blog post to blogs.perl.org about your new distributions, so it will be picked up by Perl Weekly, and then there’s a good chance your Panda::Date users will see the news. If you blog somewhere else, please drop an email to Gabor and Mohammad, to make sure they include it. Thanks to Seyhan for helping this to go forward, and we look forward to your new distribution! Cheers, Neil
