Re: Name of projects

[Frank Guthorel <mentor bassment be>]

I have to say - I totally agree ...

The name is not an all too important issue - but it helps to shed some light for newbies like me when it comes to searching for packages doing specific tasks ... I had to look a bit before it dawned that gnome-pilot could also be used for something like a Paml Vx. Come to think of it - of course it does, but then again - users with less experience than I have might not link the two immediately ...

pda-link or gnome-pda are ok I think
or an acronym might be useful too, since pda's are getting used more and more
gnomda or something - the gnome digital assistant ?

just an opinion of course

cheers,
