I didn't think this was a discussion about the name of the framework but since it's already started, here's my 2 cents.
I LOVE the name web2py. I don't know how it's "properly pronounced", by I call it 'web to py' with the idea that it's the web towards python, or basically the internet towards a python perspective. This says a lot. The simplicity of python used to solve the complexity of the web in a framework that embodies everything that python is, especially the phrase "simple and easy to learn and use and ...etc." I couldn't possibly think of why a name change now, but one thing is certain, it'll be a big thing for the name to change, what it means for the community, and the web as a whole actually. Good or bad? I guess we can only find out for real if it actually changes, but if my opinion counts for anything at all, I'd say the name should remain Cheers, Samuel.
