Athenians? or Spartan?

What's this news about Codename : Athens (to make it sound like a WW2 shooter.) It sounds like it's a comnunity forum with a stack of features similar to the promised C9 vNext.

Is it related? Or duplicated work? Or is it sufficiently different for it not to be related.

Just looking at the features gives me a strong sense of Deva-vu though.

Anyone prepared to comment on it?

[actually looking again at the features I can see the scope is fairly different, but the certain things are similar - shared authentication, everything being based on tags... Co-incidence?]

Sorry for nitpicking, but it's déjà vu.

Deva vu   

is a relatively new expression which pertains to software developers; not to be mistaken with the French déjà vu.

Meaning: the sudden feeling of familiarity a software developer has when recognizing a new software project or software project name.

Mais oui c'est deja-vue. Mais quand j'avais pas beaucoup de temps, erreurs sont souvent faites.

(plus: je n'avais pas un clavier français, and je ne sais pas comment dactylographier des accents.)

(Merci de Google pour les mots qui sont semblable de les mots que je voudrai.)
