IMHO (and coming into this as someone with an outsider view, ie no involvement in the project other than as a relatively new user), the horse is out of the barn. The time for a new name was when the brand was established - all the coverage the project received. Also, the name makes sense and thus communicates what it is reasonably well. Changing the name will throw all that coverage right out the window and confuse people. Maybe it is a shame the name was chosen without more community input, but it doesn't negate the problems with a name change right now. I suggest having some fun with mascots or code names for releases, but urge leaving the project name alone for a bit, until the project has some history and a mind&market share. -B _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
