Again I ask, can we put the whole "OpenOffice/OpenOffice.org" thing to a vote? Either public or internal would be fine, but I think it might be a good idea.
Our name is OpenOffice.org.
So what you will asking people to vote for is to change the name.
What distinguishes us from the other ubiquitous office suite is ".org", they don't have one, and we have the opportunity to tell people why we do.
Either that or we can all argue over it a while longer ;-)
Well, it is one of those circuitous discussions ;-P The last time it was discussed was in Nov 04 wrt branding. "OpenOffice.org" is very much part of our identity. For example, it is included in our logo and splashscreen.
I think the consensus was during that rather robust discussion that we leave the name as it is as many community members, particularly longstanding native-language projects, have put a lot of effort into establishing that identity.
A good thing (I think) that came out of that discussion was developing a logo that does not include our name, so a more visual identity may be established. But if you look up any information about branding, identity, and even trademarks, you will read that you need a strong name and a visual identity or mark.
