Rainer, I agree.
Although I preferred Poi I feel it's much more important to be consistent. A simple vote would have cleared this whole point up and we would no longer be having this conversation. Vetoing the making of this decision was not cool and reflects an unwillingness on Andy's part to let go of his baby.

This is a typical purely technical attitude. What do you think why Microsoft is so successful? Because of its superior quality products? Look and there marketing and learn! Do you think they don't care whether they spell it "Windows", "WINDOWS" or "wInDoWs"?

Believe me, it is at least equally important. That "POI" or "Poi" spelling makes at least a sloppy impression. Impression counts. Would you rely your enterprise-critical application on a sloppy product. But wait, no, POI isn't a product: It does not even have a brand!
