Scott,
anyway what the name it will be and I don't believe, that a another name as
"Witango" will kill anything.
With have bought "Tango 2000", because they have had a solution for a big
customer, based on Tango 2000. In this time, it was cheaper to buy "Tango 2000"
as to rebuild the whole solution.
Phil have make a great job into rebuilding Witango v. 5 and to remove bug over
bug from Tango 2000. Phil have do al lot, but the only problem was, that Phil
and Sophie have forget to take a look on the market and they have forget that
here also are another good products. For example Joomla! and PHP. Also Cold
Fusion still exist. But all this is anyway. I only hope , that Ropbert and his
company don't make the same mistakes as With have do in the past.
The biggest mistake was, that With have drop all distributors worldwide, trying
to make more money with direct sales. They have forget, that at least the
resellers only can pushed a product into the market. And this can only be done,
if the reseller earn enough to make advertisings and other public relations.
Think about that it is a difference, if you get information's and support in
your native language over the phone. Or do you buy a product, if you get only a
support in Chinese language or over a list in Chinese?
Maybe, so far as Robert like, I will re-begin to distribute the new version -
anyway what the name will be - in Europe. But this will be a another story...
What ever a name Robert take, is anyway - the only point is, that the product
get accepted and loved from the customers :-)
Let's make advertising for it !

At the risk of having history repeat itself, by voting spontaneously on
business decisions that are completely in the hands of Robert Shubert (and
getting everyone into a sour mode in the process).
How about we not start asking for things that have absolutely no bearing on
whether you'll stay a Tango/Witango programmer or not. I mean after all, if
you're still here after all the sh*t that's gone on (and not gone on), what
makes you folks think that changing the name will make any difference now?
If Robert felt strongly enough about a name change after such an ambitious
business move, he would have done it by now. I'm sure it's occurred to him.
Please leave Robert some sense of accomplishment after putting his neck out
on the line, before you start striping away at his ability to control the
product he owns.
Think about it. He's gone public with the purchase and a new business plan -
changing the name now would kill any and all momentum built thus far.
Have a nice day now.
Scott,

I second the idea of a name change and agree that I'd like to see the
product's name return to Tango.
Perhaps I'm biased because I was a employee of EveryWare and Pervasive,
(1995-2000 and I go back to version 1.0 of Tango) but I still refer to it today
as Tango whenever it comes up in conversation. Tango rolls off the tongue,
Witango never did.
And it was never as easy to explain what a .taf or .tcf file was after the
name change. For those that aren't aware of the origins, .taf is Tango
Application File and .tcf is Tango Class File.

A rose would smell as sweet, yadda yadda.
Just wondering about the name 'Witango'. I knew the product when it was
called Tango, which had a nice ring to it and brought about images of serious
gentlemen and ravishing ladies entwined in something that was midway between a
dance and a domestic.
I believe the name change was force on 'With Imagination' (there's a clue
to where the WI came from) when they negotiated rights to the product from
Everywhere (IIRC). I wonder if this requirement is still valid?
I for one would love a return to the old name now that With Imagination
(who proved to be 'without' at least as far as Tango went) are no longer part
of the equation.
Might also make the logo design a bit simpler.
