A fork implies new functionality or some philosophical difference.  Neither is 
the case here.

In this case, Terminal had not even been capable of being compiled without some 
modification for about 2 years since it had a few very simple errors in it's 
source code which (to my knowledge) are still uncorrected.  I didn't see this 
as a fork so much as a continuance of maintenance.  Both Riccardo and I 
naturally had assumed it was dead, so we took it over.

We will discuss a name change to avoid confusion, if you are going to continue 
to maintain the existing version in Backbone.

How about changing the name of GAP's fork of Terminal? The original is 
maintained software, and renaming a fork is generally considered to be the 
right thing to do.
