Naming Error on My Part -- SlideShow
Hi, I just contributed my first module to CPAN (SlideShow), but I believe I have erred. The name 'SlideShow' also exists under Tk:: as Tk::SlideShow. If possible i'd like to have this submission removed -- i just uploaded it a bit ago (SlideShow-2.0.tar.gz) as LENZO. I'd like your advise on naming it -- i think WWW::SlideShow is more appropriate for it. The module allows one to control browsers remotely, so you can give talks (for instance with a conference call) and have slide content over the web. It was just on www.perl.com in Ziggy's last article. Thanks, and please accept my apology. kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SlideShow not in Modules list
Hi, I submitted SlideShow using PAUSE several months ago, and it has not appeared on the Module list for CPAN. I keep getting requests asking where it is, to which i have to say http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-authors/id/L/LE/LENZO/ because it's the only place it's exposed. I know maintaing this is a great deal of work, but the current organization is really confusing people. The fact that there is still a top-level list of modules/by-module at all, while there are new modules being added below and the top-level is no longer supported, maked people think entirely the wrong thing. They see the existing module names and think things like SlideShow must not exist. Perhaps the entire top-level should be done away with if it's not being maintained, so this confusion won't persist. If removing the top-level breaks a few people links, that's a chance to educate them on the new structure. Anyway, since the module doesn't appear in the Module list, and I don't appear in the Author list, people are having a lot of trouble finding SlideShow. Thanks for your time, and thanks for all the work on CPAN. kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was misinformed about this -- as i understand it now, it's just the long names of by-author that are going away? Also, I will re-release SlideShow as WWW::SlideShow so it fits into the top-level better. Perhaps then it will be more appropriate for listing in the modules list and authors list. I posted to this list on that before but got now reply... thanks, kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Request for Module Namespace: FestVox::*
Hello, I would like to ask for the FestVox::* name space. We have a suite of modules for building synthetic voices amd other things associated with the FestVox project (http://www.festvox.org) and we'd like to put them here. One of the first items we'd like to put up is FestVox::PointyClicky, a Perl/Tk based module and app for managing the voice building process. May we have FestVox::* ? Thanks, kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Speech name space
Hi all, I would like to ask to create the Speech top level name space. We have speech recognizers and synthesizers, and would like to put them in a coherent space. Speech Speech::Synthesizer Speech::Synthesizer::Festival Speech::Recognizer Speech::Recognizer::Sphinx and possibly Speech::Synthesizer::Interface Speech::Recognizer::Interface in a way similar to DBI/DBD. Any feedback on this would be most welcome! We'll want to have several different recognizers and synthesizers in there, though, and different implementations of the interface. For instance, there would be a CMU place for Sphinx bindings to Perl, but Cepstral may provide bindings under a different name. This is actually the case right now -- Cepstral, LLC (me, Alan, and dhd) want to provide an interface to Sphinx that we can't call "Sphinx" due to license restrictions. CMU wants to hold the name "Sphinx" as it applies to anything sphinx-related, so Cepstral can't use it. So CMU would like to have a stub module there so that no one else will release bindings called "Sphinx" for the Sphinx engine, but Cepstral wants to release the (already written) bindings for the speech recognition engine to Perl. Furthermore, we'd like to put out good Perl bindings for Festival, FestVox, and the Edinburgh Speech Tools. Asking for your help naming these things, kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Class::MethodMapper
Hi, I have been asked to publically release my Class::MethodMapper, which is a module to use AutoLoader to create get/set methods for a derived class from an initialization map, and allow some type checking, serialization, and documentation. May I upload Class::MethodMapper to CPAN without worry of the name space? Thanks much, kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
