I don't think the names PicaGalley and Picasa are similar at all. Pica is pronounced with a long i and stress on the i. Picasa has a short i and stress on the first a. So to me they don't even share pica, which is a very common term in the printing/publishing industry. The name is nowhere

IMO there is no need to revote on the name change. It is a technicality, and according to me an exit criterium, not an entry criterium. How about calling the project Snapshot (or Snapshots)? Apache Snapshot does have a ring to it, though it might be confusing as hell when you're deploying

I'm not convinced. Picasa has a downloadable desktop app too. And the names are awfully similar. Wouldn't it be simpler to avoid the hassle of trademark conflict and pain of renaming later by changing it now? It sounds like a cool project. Won't argue this further, but it does seem like

+1 of course When this came in as Caitrin, it was a proposal for a codebase with no community. Since then, it has changed into a little community without a specific codebase, but several codebases to draw from or use as a starting base. I find this a much more convincing proposition. Convincing
