Hi Germán,

I certainly find the idea of a relational file system interesting.
Unfortunately, I have automatic refreshes disabled in my browser so I was
unable to try your demo.

I think you did an excellent job of translating your documentation to
english; however, I cannot recall ever hearing an english speaker use the
verb "to accede". While reading your online documentation, I sometimes felt
you probably meant "to grant" and at other times I felt you probably meant
the noun "access" and other times I was not quite sure what you meant by
"accede".

Other english computer jargon that you might find useful includes "to
revoke" to take away access that was previously granted and "to deny" to
describe the actions of the security function when a user has no access.

Your english is much better than my spanish so hopefully the above is clear
enough.

Good luck with your project,
Bob

Have you never discussed the English monarchy, as in when the
present monarch acceded to the throne?

OTOH leaves means getting out of, so leaves from an old idea
could be springs from an old idea perhaps...

Have you considered making it relational by basing it on Duro or Opus?

Is it meant to run on GNU/Linux as a module, or user-space in Java?

What about a GNU/Hurd translator?

Perhaps I misspoke. I have never heard an English speaker speak the word,
and I have 38 years of listening to English speakers all around me every
day. Since no english monarch has acceded to the throne since before my
birth, I have not had occasion to discuss the topic.

However, I doubt Germán intended anything to do with assuming office when he
used the verb in his documentation. I suspect he meant the verb in the sense
of consenting. I could be wrong, but then that just indicates how poorly the
word communicates the intended meaning to english speakers.

I hope Germán takes my comments in the way I intended them: as a helpful
suggestion to improve and clarify already excellent documentation.

Regards,
Bob

Indeed, but take it easy... couldn't you see my tongue-in-cheek?
