Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Project name ...

Just say "nope!" to Zope! ...

Catchy names do have their drawbacks...we should feature that slogan somewhere on our website, shouldn't we?

Seriously, I don't think anyone really likes the name that much, "ACS" isn't the catchiest thing in the world.  "OACS" pronounced "Oaks" is actually an improvement IMO.

We could remain the "OpenACS" project (since openacs.org is somewhat known these days) with the "OACS 4.2" release ...

Great?  Nope (or do I mean Zope?)  Tolerable?  I don't know, you tell me!

As I said last night (I think it was me, but maybe it was the beer) this whole naming issue's been a bit of a thorn in my side all along.

I'd like to put it to rest now that aD has been put to rest.
