I was thinking about the name and here I mean the name that is used for
the folder etc. The name is used in the help, in tools option, in the
menu...

We changed "OpenOffice.org" to "Apache OpenOffice" so good so far. But
would it be nicer to shorten the folder, menu entries, ... to simply
OpenOffice

Folders
Linux: /opt/openoffice4
Mac: OpenOffice.app
Windows: OpenOffice 4

Tools Option
OpenOffice
OpenOffice Writer
OpenOffice ...

Help
OpenOffice instead of hundreds of "Apache OpenOffice"

The idea is that the project and product is called Apache OpenOffice but
in practice we would use in the product the short from OpenOffice. The
intro, start center, about can of course use images where we use "Apache
OpenOffice".

Well it's just an idea and I know it would require some further work but
now would be the time for it. I believe legally should it be ok today
but it have to checked to be safe.

What's your opinion?
