of relevance, but does leave me a bit uneasy at all this.
The thing I for one is uneasy about is the use of the "Lua
<something>" /namespace/ for niche projects when a name like "Lua
Workshop" is more suited for a major or mainstream Lua project. For
this reason, I am careful about treading on this namespace when I
submit projects to LuaForge, for instance.
The OP's project is Windows-only and specific to non-mainstream
users of PSP. People with zero preconceptions or knowledge, when
given the words "Lua Workshop", will probably assume it is a
serious, mainstream app that caters to mainstream Lua. For the same
reason, one would expect "Lua Compiler" to be some sort of serious
project linked closely to mainstream Lua. In a sense, "Lua
Workshop" may be sort of a misleading name for the OP's project,
and others have also noted the clashing of identities between this
project and the existing Lua conference.
So if a list member like me feel unease, it's not because I want to
deprive the OP of his or her right to name the project, but it is
out of concern about how the "Lua <something>" namespace is being
used. But of course, this is just one data point, and at the end of
the day, the decision is still with the OP.
I would expect something very different from a product with that
name, too. I would suggest something with PSP in the name, to create
a reference for the products main purpose.
