To rename a project with such an established history as pitivi, and all the infrastructure headaches this causes, would (in my opinion) require that the name would be *so awesome* that it is beyond imagination.
Strict minimum requirements for a project name: * Short * Easily pronounced (the only ones who have trouble guessing the pronounciation of Pitivi are anglophones. Latin-based languages don't have this problem, nordic/slavic and asian languages don't have any problem either, as far as I can tell). * Unique. I dare you to find a word that is as unique as pitivi. When you search for "pitivi" in search engines, you only get relevant results, which is something quite valuable. Hell, Jonathan Thomas even had to trademark Openshot in the US to ward off a company that was taking legal action against him; we don't have this problem with "PiTiVi" (first because no sane company would call itself that, second because we are prior art that goes waaay back). Pitivi needs stability and robustness, only then will it be loved. Changing the name won't magically change the perception of users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
