Actually, "Faanoos" with the same spelling is already taken by me for a couple of projects ;-). BTW, is it an Arabic word too? > My votes would be for (in order of preference), > > Akka 2.0 > Faanoos (and not fanoos, read why below) > BiCon (or even HetroCon :-) > beacon Based on Google search results, I vote for BiCon too (beacon hits some 2 million results). So BiCon, but don't forget that in filenames it should be written bicon. Another problem with faanoos is that it's again bounded to Persian (maybe and Arabic). > I think it would be a good idea to find a unique name that does > not produce millions of hits in google at min :-) This is the > last I will say about this topic and will leave it to those that > have worked and will work on the project to decide. search faanoos in Google and you will be lost in found Persian pages. > Salam. > > - Nadim behdad _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
