My goals are to change things around so they are focused upon positive things. I am doing this with LibSF and the tools I'm creating, but in general I want to encourage other people to do this as well with their projects.
GIT is a bad name. It's insulting, hurtful, etc. It has no place being the name of such a powerful tool. GIMP is a non-professional name. I think Image Professional would be better. Or something that has a positive upbeat tone. I don't expect people to change. But it would be great. It would allow me to work on the project because it disassociates itself with Stallman.
