Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Call for Volunteers: Redesign OpenACS.org inside and out

Some of the logos use OACS (pronounced "oaks" as in the tree) instead of OpenACS.

I would like a consensus on whether the community would adopt a name change to OACS instead of OpenACS. There are some advantages in going with OACS.

1. The Open prefix is kind of redundant in this day and age of if it isn't Microsoft then it must be open source.
2. OACS is easier to remember.
3. OACS is preferred by graphics designers as it makes designing logos easier.

What does the community think?

Changing the name from "OpenACS" to anything else would be foolish, and even suggesting it is a profound waste of time. Whatever problems the OpenACS project might have, its name is not one of them. Please focus on something more productive.
