If you do change the name, maybe it might make sense to choose something
altogether different. At least in the world of OSM, "to map" means
collecting geodata and adding it to the database - a process in which
your tool is not involved; it comes in after the act of mapping, and
informs others and/or draws pictures that show what has been mapped!
You say you have a new release coming up. I'd like to take the
opportunity to announce that Jochen and I are working on a new and
improved version of our OSM book which is scheduled to hit the shelves
in March. If anyone has any major software release in store that will
add significant features or change the way OSM works altogether :-) then
please let us know so we can at least put in a heads-up for the readers,
if not a preview of what's going to be.
(Yes, we'll describe API 0.6 in the book and not 0.5, hoping that it
won't take another year to finish. And no, the new license will get a
passing mention only. And no, we don't have an English version of the
book yet but we're still hoping to be able to do a translation based on
the new, updated content.)
Bye
Frederik
