Subject: Aeolus Project Names
<winge>
Gents,
I know we all had a bit of fun coming up with weird and wonderful
names
when we were looking to rename IME (or now Tim).
But seriously... are we actually going to call our projects things
like
Gablestablerfahrer, WingedMonkey and alike? I'm all for avoiding
boring
names like IME and EVM (no offence MIQ) but surely there is some
middle
ground to be had here? We should at least make an effort to name our
projects to roughly describe what they actually do?
Heh, well part of the problem may come from not knowing exactly what
we're building before we build it. A lot of our projects start off as
one thing only to become something somewhat more specialized.
Instead of trying to pick very descriptive names. Maybe we should shoot
for the other direction. Let the internet pick the name:

In all seriousness, naming is hard. Picking a good name can actually be
quite important to the success of a project. Unfortunately, there's no
answers from here. I'm terrible at naming. My kids are "StarWars" and
"Lotr".
