- Quentin for example proposed "Resonance" which is quite cool imho,
but we need to decide that together.
While I kinda like Resonance, I found a free software project is already
using the name. I don't know neither if they will be happy with this nor
we should care, I'd choose not to use the name. What if we can choose
a name from a strange and sexy language like ubuntu?
my take, jingizi (gift) .. well I don't know.. some africans may have
better idea :)
Are you referring to http://sourceforge.net/projects/resonance ? If so,
I don't really see it as a problem, personally. It's a fairly common
word. I think that using the "another project exists which uses the same
name" argument is a red herring, because (A) that resonance project is
not well known, (B) they haven't released anything at all since 2001,
(C) every single file in their CVS archive is over four years old. Were
this some well-known project, I would likely agree with you, however it
is not, and to top it off it's dead, or at the very least, very, very,
very dormant.
