Instead of forking, why not just pick up the y-windows project as it
is and continue it with the community? This way you get to keep the
name, website, etc. Of course you'll want to contact Mark (and
possibly Andrew) about this and try to get their permission, but I see
you've already done that and gotten no response. In that case, I'd try
to keep this community going with this name instead of forking. If
Mark (the legal owner of y-windows, AFAIK) comes by and says, "Hey, I
own this name and I don't want you using it." then we can just grab
our code we've done and rename the project.
