List,

for a new project we plan to create a namespace which can and will have  
names clashing with existing global names like Object[tm] and Process[tm].  
All behavior will be specified in form of Traits (for the immediate future  
only classTraits).

We've looked around in the Traits implementation [3.9a] and found a good  
namespace separation example, [self environment organization], but there  
also is [SystemChangeNotifier uniqueInstance] which seems to know nothing  
about possible name clashes.

What is the status, are the plans for having 100%[tm] separated  
namespaces? Google found

was there anything else we should take care of?

The new name space we have in mind derives from ontologies and we don't  
want to force users of an ontology namespace to prefix or suffix any  
names/identifiers.

And while we are at it, how should an object (say, a Class) use objects  
 from another namespace (say, a Traits), and what about namespace  
separation in #definitionST80.

But perhaps there are other and/or better ideas on how to separate  
namespaces in Squeak, suggestions and/or experience, all appreciated.

P.S. Of course we already have some ideas (and working code examples) on  
how to address these issues but would naturally like to hear voices from  
the community.
