And they should be searchable on the web. Somehow I can't stop thinking that this announcement is a misguided followup to the "Think twice before naming your new programming language" article posted a few day ago http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=779108 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=779108
- natrius 17y agoEven with namespace collisions, it's usually easy enough to find software if you search for "$NAME project". The first result for "quickly project" is related to quickly, though inadvertently. In a week or two, the Launchpad page will probably be the first result.
- fhars 17y agoThat will find the project home page. Now how do I find blogs discussing the project? If every web page mentioning the project would always link to the canonical url of the project page, I could search for these links, acting as if the real project name were https://launchpad.net/quickly https://launchpad.net/quickly, but that doesn't feel natural. And it requires the collaboration of every single author writing about quickly.
- natrius 17y agoHm. Good point.
