I like when developers are talking about names: They use a mac and not a computer, they were nike, lewis and not shoes and pants.... So guys can we focus our energy on positive things.
IHMO this is certainly a positive subject because it highlights the as-yet-to-be-resolved tension regarding understandability of the system between having a unique name (good for googling, distinguishing between versions) and a name that reveals what the project does/is for. What is the plan to resolve this because it is a real problem?
Nike and Levis are designed to stand on their own in front of the consumer market. Is this true of Nautilus, Calypso, or Epicea?
Sean, Thank you for this clarification! I read Stef's message this morning and I honestly thought that my name ("lewis") might have something to do with pants. That probably would not be a good thing. But now I see that we are talking about "levis" so I feel much better now :-) Dave (Lewis, not Levis)
