Here is a thing I would like to discuss with all involved in marketing:
giving the product another name. (.org in a name is confusing, we can
not use OpenOffice without .org, there is a fine example:
Mozilla-->Firefox) Please let me know what you think and how you feel
about the product and community sharing the same name.
Hi Steven,
Since you are new to the project, you are of course not aware of earlier
discussions.
I have twice proposed a name change on this list. Both times many people
agreed that "OpenOffice.org" is a stupid name (which is the reason why
it is in fact never used anywhere else than on the official website).
But some expressed that they thought it is a good name, though, as I
remember it, most comments were positive to a name change. But - nothing
happened. People got tired of discussing the issue, so the discussion
stopped. As I see it, that's in fact excatly the kind of thing that goes
on most of the time on this list: One person starts a thread by
proposing something. Some say "Yes, great." Some say "No, it won't
work." And then, after some time, the thread just fades out.
I don't know what to do about this situation. I think we have a problem
with decision-making.
Finn
