M Rawash is right, developers / users of this new fork should pick this
discussion up again once it exists.
for now "notion" is the name of this fork, we will have more time to
decide on a better name later, but right now we're moving on...
new mailing lists: https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=314802
please subscribe.
Need to understand if most people will subscribe to the list then the
community will be agree in integral with this name, due to natural
inertia of group of people.
more people have subscribed to the list than have posted here so far.
And.. who made you chief?
nobody, hence:

NotionWM, NucleusWM, some pretty good suggestions.
Hi all,
sorry for being late for the vote, I'd vote for "nion" and "notion".
With an existing "Notion" software, there's a small chance in having
problems and a big chance not being googlable, and THAT is a bigger
problem IMNSHO, just as panman wrote. We can probably solve it by
using the name "NotionWM" instead of just "Notion".
I'm not particularly good with coming up with names. ThinWM?
TinyParticle? TilingMadeSimple? Quirk? (Told you I was terrible.)
If we're going to find new names, I'm no better, but the Wikipedia
"ion" page is great for finding metaphors:
* Aurora - sounds like a new, beautiful and exciting stuff
Competing on Google is the concept plane.
* NucleusWM - sounds nice and would carry the idea of a small WM,
but there are many other uses for this word, even in software.
* Faraday - he discovered and named the ions.
There are a lot of fun metaphors we can find ^^
* Polyatomic - well, that's geeky :)
Just my 2 cents,
I've been using ion for a long time, I've searched for all sorts of
things related to ion. ion+window+manager is, as I say, useful to find
formal ion documentation, or the website, etc. It is not useful for
searching for informal posts or blogs. People aren't generally that
specific.
How did you searched for original ion(1)? I did it by:
ion window manager
and got expected result. Or more often I put into google:
ion window manager documentation
Did you ever tried to search the word "ion", or "ion howto"?
And my vote:
lion +1 - Lithium Ion, is third element in periodic table and the fork
will be ion3plus based.
áš…(nion) +1

The way I wrote that was a little confusing. My meaning was (if I
can do better this time) a search for debian+howto+notion will
include any howto's for debian where someone had a notion since
it's a common english word. Doing a search for various terms+notion
generally finds hits from the presence of a sentence in the page
about the notion of something or other. You're absolutely right, a
legitimate page about a project called notion should rise above
that sort of thing.
I was not however really thinking of the legitimate site for the
project. Consider a search for statusbar+notion, lua+notion,
maximized+notion, keybindings+notion. The point is notion doesn't
do a very good job of focusing the hits in on this project. A post
someone makes on their blog regarding their experiences with notion
containing the exact solution some future user is looking for could
be very difficult to find.
I found this to be the case with the name ion, without the '3' it's
a very bad filter, and since people often drop the '3' in
discussions about it, with the 3 it's a very bad filter.
hmmm, we really should contact the "awesome" guys and ask them how
they do it...
