Hi all. First mail to this mail list. Please forgive my audacity - fossil is simply gorgeous just like SQLite, but it need to be renamed as soon as possible. :) My point is simple. IMHO, the name "Fossil" provokes some unpleasant associations and have not very propriate connotations. The same can be said for Fossil Logo - it is dark and have veri grim look.
Just compare it with SQLite name and logo (btw - old logo and site of sqlite was better,now they are "heavy" :) ) Also look at other similar systems - "Bazaar" - makes allusion with crowds of developers. "Mercurial" - something very agive, quick, versatile. The name is important for the future of the every project. And if the name have to be changed - it is good to be made in earlier stages of development. So, mr.Hipp, please think a little about this arguments.
