Re: New package named "itools" for Islamic blah blah

"itools-islam" would be a better package name.
"islam-tools" would be a fairer name in the spirit of cooperation.

I would truly hope that a program named "ical" would help me work with
the iCal internet standard, not calculate Islamic dates.

It's a minor annoyance, but it sure smacks of someone landgrabbing
a generic name (cough openstep cough).

Flame on!



You, sir, are a brave man.  (Or you posess mighty asbestos undergarmnets :).

Seriously, this would probably be better addressed directly to the
package maintainer.  He might just be willing to work with you on
this.
