Re: [Freeciv-Dev] [Freeciv-i18n] Speculation about renaming the freeciv project

[Marko Lindqvist]

 Main project name will not be changed, but Paths will be assumed as
secondary name for Freeciv version 3: Freeciv-3: Paths

 I thought of that too, but considered latter part of your reasoning
con rather than pro. Spacerace makes sense in a small subset of
rulesets only (luckily it can be disabled) so having reference to it
prominently in the name would send a bit wrong message.

 For example Alien ruleset really shouldn't have spacerace in its
current form, though it is there in lack of any better way to
implement technological victory in a ruleset.

There are lots of interesting topics on this forum, I need to register :)

For Polish none of the options is particularly transparent, but neither is
Freeciv. I like Cultomundi because it sounds nice, but I don't think it
would ring a bell for Polish speakers (which is not necessarily a
disadvantage, we are quite used to foreign words in proper names). One
proposal that I can think of is Ad Astra, which would highlight the
aspect of scientific development and would fit in nicely with the concept
of sending the spaceship to Alpha Centauri. It also comes from a Latin
phrase, so there is a change that it would ring a bell to most of European
and Anglophones,

 For many project members are active only in these mailing lists, and
 not necessarily following the forums, here's a link to forum
 discussion about project name. It's still just speculation about
 changing the project name, but I want to keep all members informed and
 welcome everybody's input.

 Translators might have extra insight since in that discussion we have
 not limited our options to English language name.
