Project Name Conflict)

Recently released some of the source code to Google Code (http://code.google.com/), has not encountered a project name conflict phenomenon (compared to the application of Gmail mail that conflict seriously AH), ah, it's a novelty to meet one today. Let's send it to you.

 

After you click "Create Project" to create an open-source project, the Google Code prompts that the specified project name SourceForge (sf.net) already has a project with the same name, and explains this phenomenon, operation suggestions are also provided. Generally, since the project name is the same, the project content and objectives may also be the same, you need to carefully consider whether to create a new project or participate in an existing project; if you insist on creating a new project, Google Code will send an email to the developer on SourceForge to ask for his opinion. If he agrees, everything will be fine. If he does not agree, let alone everything, haha. For more information, see the image below.

 

There is collaboration between Google Code and SourceForge. this is good and meaningful. To some extent, you can avoid repeated creation of similar open source projects. However, I think there is a project name conflict, and it is okay to prompt the user. There is no need to ask for the consent of the existing project authors with the same name. After all, Google and SourceForge are two companies, so the water is not a waste of water. For example, if the user name is "liigo" in the easy language Forum, why cannot I use the same user name "liigo" in the M8 forum? However, the "liigo" on Tianya Forum was indeed not me. Why didn't he ask for my opinion when creating an account? haha.

 

 

Liigo note: Actually, I received an email from Google Code on the same day, but I didn't pay attention to the inbox in time. According to an email from Google Code, the author of The EBox project on SourceForge does not agree that I use the project name of the same name on Google Code. I can only select other names. Original article: "the owner of an existing open source project with the same name has indicated that they wocould like to keep that name

Reserved. So, you will need to choose another name. "I thought about it later and thought it was more appropriate for esourcebox, So I registered this.
