[Tony Meyer] > Is there really anything to be gained by referring to the "SpamBayes > development team" via some cryptic name? Yes, there is something to be gained: mindshare. A simple catchy memorable team name could work wonders for showing potential users that this excellent open-source software product was produced a team of real people, using the worlds best development language ;-) And produced by people who have a pythonic sense of humour. Off the top of my head suggestions include - The Python Anti-Spam Cabal - The Flying Circus - The SPAM Vikings (*) - The Knights who go Nih - The Ministry of Funny Software - Masters of the pythonic time machine (probably too pretentious) * http://www.2famouslyrics.com/m/monty-python/spam-song.html [Tony Meyer] > You can call use the SDT if you like. Well, I said an interesting name ;-) [Tony Meyer] > Should the Python developers likewise get some cryptic name? No, they'll always be the python-dev cabal to me. basic-marketing-is-easy-ly'yrs, -- alan kennedy ------------------------------------------------------ email alan: http://xhaus.com/contact/alan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
