Nah, I don't like the .org at all. And I don't think it conveys "open
souce" in the slightest. You don't hear people say "Linux.org" or
"Firefox.org". There is no connection between a .org extension and an
open source project. The only other project I can think of that has a
.org is the name is X.org, and it's not the type of project that you
try to sell to the uneducated masses. I think that word "open" is more
likely to convey the concept of open source.
If we had a vote for a name change, I'd vote in favour of dropping the
.org
I agree with this, and mentioned it a long time ago. I think the ".org"
is awkward, and you'll note that it's frequently dropped by people not
associated with the project when they discuss it. Heck, it gets dropped
by people who ARE associated with the project from time to time.
Nevertheless, I'm not 100% sure I'd vote to change the name at this
point just because it's already established. (Not that a vote is
actually imminent, or even a possibility.) I hate name changes. The
Mozilla project has driven me mad with the way they seem to change the
name of their product every other month.
