Mmh, Charles, please don't overreact ... everybody on this list and within this community has the right to question whether a name is appropriate. Moreover, nobody knows if it simply came up when sipping on a cocktail (slurp), or if somebody invested a lot of work. To all, I think Charles is a bit stressed concerning names at the moment :-) Soon you will know why. However, until now I wasn't aware of Charles message. But yesterday, I've noticed that there have been many questions and proposals concerning the name. Maybe reasonable timing ... So I started to summarize the "process" to agree on the "backup name" within our group (in this case, group is the bunch of people who aim for the foundation). I hope you will find it an interesting reading ... let me know (if not *G*). Here is the posting: http://luxate.blogspot.com/2010/10/agreeing-on-childs-name-simple-task.html And already on the new planet (yeah!): http://planet.documentfoundation.org/ Does it sound reasonable?
