Two of them -- a significant number, really -- have said that they will meet customer demand.

See if it might gain some use & acceptance? Press on with Maps? If it happens, great -- I'll support it, and I believe the vendors will too if enough of us ask for it. I certainly don't mean this as an "I told you so." It's just that over the past 22 years I've seen similar efforts start but not finish. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

Also in honor of Grace Hopper. Try looking up the old posts on this subject - lots of names were kicked around. Me? I'm not married to the name. Assuming this effort moves forward, I could go with just about anything that consumes five or fewer characters.

The current status as near as I can tell is the following: 1 We have a spec for unbounded lists. 2 I have an implementation, which is mostly tested. 3 I have a request in about the name, but only got a response that the request was being forwarded. Its tough going because I can't find any contact information for the folks who made the old Ada83 "GRACE" components. I think they may be essentially dead and gone. Given that, and the fact that they trademarked "GRACE" and not "Grace", I think we may be OK using the name (at least tenatively during the beta stages), but I'm sure some will disagree. 4 Before releasing what I have, I'm beginning to think the effort requires something considerably more formal that what we have been working for. In particular, I'd like to see a full-blown CVS-controlled project, perhaps hosted on Savannah or AdaPower. This would also allow us to take some of the discussion traffic off of the newsgroup, which I think some here would be very appreciative of. Mostly what has been sidetracking progress is that I'd like to do 4, but to do it we need some kind of resolution of 3 (I'd imagine changing the name of a hosted project would be a real pain). --- T.E.D.

I suppose that could be looked into. If the company is truly defunct though, I don't think it matters much if the trademark has another year or so to go. > I have a suspicion that "Grace" would not be trademarkable, since it is an > English (dictionary) word. I'm really not sure about "GRACE". Good point. They'd probably have to stick an "i", "e", or "m" in front of it to do that. :-) > >I just got back from my 2 week Olympic vacation and came across this. > >(I survived the 2002 winter olympics) > > Gosh, did you actually compete in something?

EVB Software Engineering, the company that had the trademark for GRACE is dormant, probably moribund. However, I know how to contact the last CEO of EVB and will send her a message to ask about this.

Or post it somehwere & pass along the URL. Thanks. As for the name? If this is going to be at all problematic, I suggest just using a new name. Plenty of names are available without a) risking any infringement on anyone's trademark and b) confusing any potential users with a name similar to something else. Maybe its best to avoid this one and pick something else. As for #4? Until there's something more substantial, I'd think worrying about configuration management is unnecessary. Plenty of these sorts of packages are just posted to a website with somebody volunteering to be the Keeper Of The Eternal Flame & managing the changes locally. (It ought to be something that gets pretty stable pretty quickly, don't you think?) If it gets anywhere & starts expanding, worrying about CVS, etc, might make some sense down the line.
