Dropping an established brand name is terribly expensive and wasteful. No matter how good the new name is, I don't think it would compensate for the loss. ;-)
But, if you want to appeal and communicate to modern audiences, we can launch new "products" or "projects" or "packages" or "initiatives" or whatever you want to call them - they could still be under the GNUstep brand umbrella but can have new names or presentations and appeal to different audiences or communicate differently (even if the "content" is actually very much simply a subset of GNUstep, maybe repackaged!). Companies do things like these all the time, no reason why we can't do the same. :-) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: "Gregory Casamento" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 17 November, 2010 17:18 To: "Developer GNUstep" <[email protected]> Subject: Is our name confusing people.... All, I keep wondering if our name is confusing people as to what this project is. Since our name references a bygone standard (namely OpenStep) and we have already, admittedly, moved on to being more of an implementation of Cocoa than anything else the GNUstep name doesn't really convey what the project is CURRENTLY all about. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this point?
