Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Time for a name change?

Collapse
Posted by Adam Farkas on
Just to frame this discussion a little better.

To be successful, a brand name should:

  • be distinctive
  • be easy to pronounce, recognize, recall, and store in memory
  • suggest something about the project's benefits
  • suggest the attributes of the project
  • avoid misleading, nontranslatable, or potentially dysfunctional associations
If you can think of a name that scores highly on all these measures, it will probably be decent. How does "OpenACS" score?
