I like the general look and feel.
The update addresses long standing complaints about the genericness of the name
"CGI::Application" or that the project name includes "CGI" at all. The words
"CGI::Application" also just hard to create a brand and marketing materials
around. So the update emphasises the Titanium name and branding, although all
the content will generally continue to refer to CGI::Application and related
plugins as it does now.
I realize Titanium is just one possible direction to go with CGI::Application,
but overall I think it's a better name to brand and market around than
CGI::Application.
My biggest beef with Titanium is the name. It has these problems:
1) It's not googleable you can't find anything by searching for "Titanium",
"Titanium Software" or "Titanium Framework". Contrast this with Jifty (which is
#1) and Catalyst (which is #1 for "Catalyst Framework" and #6 for "Catalyst
Software").
2) It's not memorable. While titanium is a nice strong lightweight metal, it is
kind of overused in pop-culture, at least imho.
3) It's too long. 4 syllables, come on! Maybe we could drop some syllables (like
Southern US English) to make it titane or titaenyum :) Or maybe we can drop some
vowels to make it more web 2.0ish: titnm :)
I know we've had this debate before and it's probably out of my hands, but I've
always liked taking a few swings with a stick at the deceased bodies of equine
animals.
