Re: [Wengophone-devel] New Project Name
Hi Vadim,
Be careful to check if you're infringing on QT trademarks - the QT guys
pronounce if Cute (same as Qute), so you may be getting a note from
Norway if you stick with this name.
Cheers,
Dave.

Re: [Wengophone-devel] New Project Name
Just My thoughts :
As we all know, We still haven't a decent solution for SIP video/audio/text.
As Wengophone as its main features based on SIP , including SIP in its
name, would help visibility about the protocol and not the software.
As people currently don't say " send me a yahoo or a gmail !!! " , I
hope it would help them to say one day "Call me on SIP" !!!

Re: [Wengophone-devel] New Project Name
Why not shorten the name to "GoPhone"... "gPhone" "wPhone" And leverage the brand that WengoPhone built. -E On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 1:33 PM, michel memeteau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just My thoughts : > > As we all know, We still haven't a decent solution for SIP > video/audio/text. > > ___ Wengophone-devel mailing list Wengophone-devel@lists.openwengo.com http://dev.openwengo.com/mailman/listinfo/wengophone-devel

I'd personally like to mark the break from the past, and choose a very different name. Qute* comes across to me as not very qute, and quite possibly contentious with Trolltech trademarks. I find it a little disheartening that what was initially announced as a competition to choose a new name has now been announced as a unilateral decision... at the very least, I would have liked to see a shortlist of 4 or 5 candidates registered and thrown out to the community for voting/comments.

They don't even have Qute, where did you get that? The only thing they have as a trademark is Qt. > I find it a little disheartening that what was initially announced as a > competition to choose a new name has now been announced as a unilateral > decision... at the very least, I would have liked to see a shortlist of > 4 or 5 candidates registered and thrown out to the community for > voting/comments. As Vadim explained, this is technically not possible. I don't know if you've ever tried to buy a domain name, but people just try to speculate and buy everything in the dictionary or not. Doing a public contest would be impossible cause some people would simply buy the winner and try to sell it to the community later. ___ Wengophone-devel mailing list Wengophone-devel@lists.openwengo.com http://dev.openwengo.com/mailman/listinfo/wengophone-devel

Some will be used in the future. You can buy a domain name for a year for under $10. Let's say that after doing the first level of filtering, you whittle things down to 5 names whose domain names in .com and .org are available - register 2*5 domain names for $100, and publish the short list. If all else fails, sell the other 8 :) It's a little self-important to imagine domain name hoarders following our little mailing list by the way :) There are also projects who use names derived from the project name - think of sane-project.org, spreadfirefox.com & getfirefox.com (not sure why MoFo didn't buy the .orgs associated with those, though...), mono-project.com, etc. While having the right domain name is important, it's not the end of the world to have a related domain name (like say pidgin.im) as long as it's distinctive & memorable.
