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

Taking Adam's thinking a step further:

Datadriven
Open
Groupware

Conveys the essential... sounds suits-friendly... No? ...also a complete departure from OACS, if that's what people would finally want.

Can be put next to Alex, like in the current logo, so that Alex can still hang around (although I would use a more stylized version, this one is a bit too cartoonish, I think). And there goes the tradition, even without OACS...

Can be used abbreviated:  DOG 5.0 / Powered by DOG / DOG Powered ...

Text has square boundaries in a font like Times New Roman (would look good in a boxed logo of some sort), or, in a fixed pitch font, like Courier New (which makes "Datadriven" to appear longer), if only text (no box) is used, like if next to Alex.

But nothing's perfect: the website is definitely a problem, also the "it's too generic" argument, and then "DOG 5.0" might just sound too rough/unserious/slangish to some, I'm sure people would think of other problems too (not to mention the cat lovers point of view...)
