Dear Teus,
Can I suggest that calling the new code bibledit might be a bad start?
Reasons:
1. Confusion
- people might have previously looked at bibledit and decided it's not for
them (e.g. they want the new one).
- People might want the new one, look in the repositories and get the old
one.
- People might want to update their desktop installation and find that it's
suddenly gone.
- reviewers / recomenders / experts can't say "get the latest version of
bibledit" if there are 2 versions around.
2. Versioning
- The new program will presumably start with a lower version number,
which means that installers won't install it.
3. bug reporting
"I've found a bug, introduced in bibledit 3.2" could well be a real
problem down the road.
Can I suggest you name the new one bibledit-web or similar?
David

I'm not at all sure that this is true... I can see that it's a trend in
some circles, but from what I've read there's quite a lot of scepticism
about the concept of cloud-computing too (aspects such as excessive
dependence, lack of control, accidental deletion or hardware failure, etc.).
