Ah, thanks, now I know that :-)
I'm not sure if we need some kind of blessing to brand it as Xdg though...
Is there are formal *group* behind the "g", or is it just a loose group of
people with similar interests?
Ok, here's a round up:
- Brassica : Already taken.
- Sinapis : Appears to be clean. Good because it is close to synapse which
is a connection, and bad because it is close to synaptic (the package
manager)
- Galanga : Appears clean. G could insinuate Gnome connection. Close to
Galago and Galaga which are both interely different software projects
- Karashi : Appears clean. Could indicate KDE relation.
- Pequin : Appears clean. Looks and sounds a bit odd.
- Aji : Appears clean. There's something about it I dislike
- XdgSearch: Totally clean (zero google hits). The "boring" but serious
name. We do more than searching in the strict sense though
- {Meta,Data}Sauce : Unlikely :-)
And now my brand new suggestion: "ximas" - eXtensible Interface for Metadata
and Search services. Appears to be clean. It actually means something and
sounds more techy than spice-inspired names. I hope this is a compromise of
the suggestions so far. What do you think?
Unless I get better proposals or good reasons not to use ximas I will
dictate this as the new name so that we can on with the show :-)
Cheers,
Mikkel
