I feel like we're picking the word first, then trying to make it meet the criteria. How about the reverse?
*clap* *clap* *clap* the first sensible thing I've read in this thread!
So what should be the criteria for a name? The name should:
* distinguish '42' from other distros by conveying its unique features Thinking in "features" leads in the wrong direction. What's important is customer-relevant benefits. Please name them.
* hold appeal for the product's target audience: End Users, Admins, Small Businesses. That's everybody except Big Businesses.
* imply a salient attribute, quality or benefit of the openSUSE 'brand' Name three. In descending order, from the customer's point of view.
* have a symbolic association with the 'image' that people have of openSUSE Which is? And can you substantiate that with hard data (a survey)?
* help motivate people to download and install 42 In other words: a name that makes people expect the product will solve their problems significantly better than the competition.
Other criteria you can think of?
Short, interesting, easy to pronounce, easy to memorize, not offending, different, works today, tomorrow and in 20 years.

Don't overkill. You may expect too much from a product-name. Rainer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
