Hi Paul

I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. Why did you develop this module? Why not just improve Template?

Please don't get me wrong. I'm on the Template Toolkit mailing list, and I see the efforts you have made to provide direction and patches to the new TT3, but I'm interested to hear what your motivation was in developing it in the first place?

It seems as though you have put in an enormous amount of effort (mostly alone) for a module which will likely always be in second place, just because it is fighting with Template Toolkit for the spotlight.

I repeat, please don't misunderstand me - I am not trying to diss you or your templating engine in any way.

And on the subject of names, I would agree with philcrow's response (Re: Moving A Template Module Namespace) - the best chance that your module has of being recognised in its own right, is with a separate, memorable name.

good luck
