Some thoughts about the future name: :: availability ::
I don't think that we should drop a name just because it generates many Google results, unless it's the name of another software. Imagine a world where Blender - the 3D software - does not exist. Then imagine you google the word "blender". The result is consulting groups, art groups and - go figure - home compliences. Yet, Blender is a strong name. :: focus :: My personal view is that the name should not focus on the "free" side of the software. When we call something FreeX or OpenX we are emphasizing the fact that it is free, and some professionals run from that like the devil from a cross. I think it is better to emphasize the fact that it is GOOD, and a GOOD name is part of it. Again: Blender is my "look at this great example". People only get to know that it is free when they already know that it is good. So let's create a deadline and get this over with! :) A Wednesday 06 February 2008 17:53:15, Mikko Huhtala escreveu: > Herman Robak writes: > > There are several concerns that are not necessarly > > measured by popularity: > > > > * Does it lend itself to high search scores? > > * Will it suggest what it is about? > > * Easy to remember, spell and pronounce? > > > > This is not an invitation to further debate.
