I think because of timezones I keep missing you. I live on the US West  
Coast so we're a few hours apart. I do apologize for the naming confusion.  
Walter and I picked the name a few weeks ago without any knowledge of your  
work at the time. If you would be willing to rename your engine that would  
be very appreciated. As for combining efforts, it would mean that you'd  
have to conform to the goals of Aurora, and I don't know that you'd want  
too. And it might actually be better to have your engine separate as more  
of purpose-built game engine where Aurora is targeted at a more general  
graphics audience. Those are my thoughts, what are you thinking?
