it also helps that "pharo" via google easily points to the website as it is not so commonly used in the internet as a name.
Being Greek and big lover of the sea, I am a big fan of the name. My full nick name is "Κηλών Άλιος" "Kilon Alios" means "the one who charms/motivates and came from the sea". What bigger motivation and more essential element of the sea than a lighthouse ? :D ________________________________ From: Stéphane Ducasse <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, 27 January 2012, 17:51 Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Meaning of the name "Pharo" On Jan 27, 2012, at 8:17 AM, Max Leske wrote: > I always enjoy it if a product / project with a "funny" name explains that > name somewhere (origin, intention).

I love lighthouse because - it is protecting boats from crashing on the coast - stand against the wind and is wild sea Really positive image. Pharo: solid software with a vision, helping large programs to get to the coast nicely. > > Cheers, > Max
