Ahh. Thats quite an insight that I hadn't noticed before. Also the<br>
first 8 results searching github for "vm" are 8 different projects.<br>
One of the reasons for moving to github is get more visibility. I'm<br>
afraid like this that we'll be lost in the noise.<br>
<br>
Actually when I made my fork of the repo, I'd noticed the project<br>
seemed to lose its identity as...<br>
<a href="https://github.com/bencoman/vm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/bencoman/vm</a><br>
but I didn't worry to much about it since "I" knew what it was. But<br>
confusion in the public arena on github is more serious.<br>
<br>
Since its still quite early days on github, can I ask consideration be<br>
given to renaming the repo so we have...<br>
<a href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/bencoman/opensmalltalk-vm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/bencoman/opensmalltalk-vm</a><br>
That it will show up in both searches for "smalltalk" and "vm"<br>
I think this is important to getting the most long term value out git & github.<br>
<br>
