[Gvsig_english] Query on why gvSIG CE came about

[José Antonio Canalejo Alonso]

I really like the Name: gvSIG Community Edition. It is a very good one. Most of 
the people in gvSIG CE Team have been working hard to make gvSIG more 
international. They brought also new functionalities and funding to the official 
project. They are also members of gvSIG but they aren't in the gvSIG 
Association. They are not being promoted with the project.
Let's talk in gvSIG terms:
- gvSIG= official project 
- gvSIG Mini= unofficial gvSIG project
- gvSIG mobile=official project
- gvSIG EIEL= proyecto official sectorial
- gvSIG carreteras= gvSIG application (probably) official
- gvSIG Fonsagua=gvSIG application
- NavTable=official extension of gvSIG
- gvSIG Sensor=official project
- official Communities: Argentina, Brasil, Rusia, Uruguay
- andere Communities: are they "unofficial"? are they only communities?
- official events: organized with the gvSIG Association 
(http://www.gvsig.org/web/community/events/general-proced/). 

- andere gvSIG events: are they "unofficial"? It seems these events are not 
being promoted with the project 
(http://www.gvsig.org/web/community/events/other_events_list/)?? That's not 
good! :) Next week there is an important one (http://www.agit.at/)
- etc (there are more gvSIG projects,...)
Why do not add gvSIG Community Edition to this list? You can maybe define this 
project like an unofficial one or like gvSIG CE, trying to make gvSIG more 
international. We don't want to divide but to integrate: english is the right 
language for that.
gvSIG CE will help to integrate contributors to gvSIG and that will also be 
positiv for the official project.
If we change the name, maybe it seems something similar like LibreOffice and 
OpenOffice. I think, we shouldn't change it, we're also gvSIG :)
Best Regards
José
