Dear OpenOffice
 
Your software is cool. It has amazing functionality and is easy to learn and
use. I think that the naming scheme for the OpenOffice suite components
could be "jazzed-up" by adding "Open" to the component names. What I mean
is, you would go from this:
 
Writer
Calc
Draw
Impress
Database
Math
Gallery
(These names are all useful, simple, and descriptive of what each program
does. That being said, they seem kind of generic to me, and it wouldn't be
so easy to tie the names to the OpenOffice project if they were used in
conversation, like "I was working in Writer today and wrote 30 pages!")
 
.to this:
OpenWriter
OpenCalc
OpenDraw
OpenImpress
OpenDatabase
OpenMath
OpenGallery
 
The new names are instantly recognizable as an OpenOffice components, and it
would heighten "brand recognition" for the OpenOffice project.
 
I hope you feel this suggestion is a useful and viable one.
