[Axiom-developer] Fricas

[daly]

Bill,

I see that you've decided to update the pages
<http://wiki.axiomm-developer.org/AxiomCommunity>
to include the fricas project. We discussed this issue previously
on the mailing list.

I suggest that you read the section:
<http://producingoss.com/html-chunk/forks.html>
from which I quote:
   "If those initiating the fork feel that they are sprouting a
    new branch off the main project, the perception question is
    resolved immediately and easily. Everyone, both developers
    and users, will treat the fork as a new project, with a new
    name (perhaps based on the old name, but easily distinguishable
    from it), a separate website, and a separate philosophy or goal."

I strongly object to the dilution of the Axiom name and resources
implied by your action. A fork implies the decision NOT to share
resources. Please do NOT promote Fricas as Axiom in any forum.
They are two entirely separate projects.

We clearly disagree on this point.

Until we have a mechanism for voting in place, and a vote is taken
that results in community discussion and agreement that Fricas should
be promoted as you have done, I ask you to remove your edits.
