I'm not trying to put down this initiative. And I commend you for putting some steam into this initiative. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder... Aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Voting a name when the work itself hasn't begun yet on the distribution? I mean, a name should also reflect the sum product. How do we vote on cool names without seeing the product itself?
There's a process that should be in place in just about every initiative. But in this case, I just simply feel like it is putting the cart before the horse.
I guess I see this as the name of the group of people. The name of those
who want an identity. I semi agree with you on putting the cart before
the horse. But to be able to change copywrite, trademark, branding we
need something to replace it. Hence the name. I really see this name as
what the group of interested people will be. I have had a few email
stating that a proper name for the inititive should be choosen. So this,
is my way of creating an identity that those of us that support this
inititive will be called. The product that comes from this will then be
branded with the name.
