It was said that the name gnus-cloud.el was a joke. I asked, what is the joke, and no one said. Now that the file is installed, I can look at it. I don't see anything in the file that is evidently a joke. What is the joke? Back then, you said, OK, I'll let you and Lars and the maintainers figure it out. Let's do the rename, if that's the decision, after the current gnus-cloud code is reviewed and merged, or it will get confusing (because the feature branch currently removes the old gnus-sync.el). That time has now arrived. The file starts with this: ;;; gnus-cloud.el --- storing and retrieving data via IMAP So how about renaming it to gnus-imap.el? That name is clear and fits what the program does. Or perhaps gnus-imap-sync.el; it would say more about what functionality the file provides. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
