Trying for simple names that don't have too many English spelling oddities... * mixer * blender * mill * concert * harmony * unity * mercury (Roman messenger of the gods + fast; see also next line...) * mercurial (indicates instability and change - perfect for the dev version) * quicksilver (old/alchemical name for the element mercury) * "alchemy" might not be great for internationalization with its hard "ch" sound, but words relating to alchemy...? * elixir * transmutation I also liked "cauldron" or "crucible" (the latter having meanings in magic and science). - John _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
