Hello! I'm the maintainer of Déjà Dup, a backup program that this list last saw when I asked for a usability review (which I've recorded the suggestions from and have been slowly implementing many of the changes, so thanks so very much!).
It has belatedly come to my attention that Déjà Dup is a terrible name: 1) It's not translatable in any meaningful sense 2) No one knows how to pronounce it 3) I've had users continue to say Déjà Vu instead, even after having been corrected 4) It doesn't shout "I'm a backup program" to new users In it's favor: 1) I think it's cute 2) I can usually append the phrase "Backup Tool" to its name in ambiguous contexts so it's clear what it does 3) It's been in use for a couple years However, I am more than willing to entertain a rename. I thought I'd email ya'll for advice on whether you think a rename is warranted, name suggestions, experience from any renames you may have experienced in the past. Thanks, -mt _______________________________________________ usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
