[ANSI-Smalltalk] What's in a name?

[Bruce Badger]

We have voted to organise ourselves and the discussion on how we do
that has already started with Paulo's STEPs proposal (which I think
looks pretty good!).

While we may well work with the ANSI standardisation process in the
future (and I hope we do) it is distinct from us, but who are we?
Currently we carry the label the ANSI Smalltalk project, but that is
clearly not the case since any ANSI work will be distinct.

So, painful and bureaucratic though it sounds, I think we need a new name.

If we adopt Paolo's process we could just be the Steps Project, but
perhaps the explicit Smalltalk Standards Project may be better, or ...

What do you think?

All the best,
    Bruce

p.s. It seems that we are taking ages mucking around with admin
without getting on with the problem at hand, i.e. defining Smalltalk
standards.   My hope is that whatever we are starting will be a (very)
long running project, so I am not too worried that we are taking our
time getting the foundations right.  I am keen to get cracking, but I
want to do so in a sustainable way.  There you go.
