A number of nice suggestions for a new name have been made on the list.
I was just thinking of some must-have criteria for the new name, to allow the
client to have success:
1. no trademark conflicts
2. domains available (even if we promote .org or .net, also .com should point
to the same pages)
3. useable in many languages (& no bad meanings)
4. short (no hyphen etc)
I completelly agree with those criteria, especially for the two first
(just having in mind at GnomeMeeting and all others...).
I also like Phonix, but it is very close to a number of European and US
registered trademarks (Phönix, Phonixx, Euphonix, ...) which may make
trouble. And the phonix.com domain is only available for 1500.000 $ (whois
says).
Another good point that I didn't think about. However for example
open-phonix [dot] com is still available (or phonix-community....).
If we want to see the client as a real competitor to M$ IM or skype, then we
have to face the fact, that 80% of all downloads will be for M$ platforms. If
we use "k" or not may be of relevance for only a small (compared to all
users) community of developers - luckily, running GNOME applications on KDE
or vice versa seems not to be an issue anymore.
You're right again. But I still hope it would not use a "K" name (it's
something epidermic) :D
enjoy, ;)

this way, it does a good job; but its defenders
are wrong in assuming it always works this way.
If the runners forget why the reward is offered
and become intent on winning, no matter how, they
may find other strategies--such as, attacking
other runners. If the runners get into a fist
fight, they will all finish late."
