RE: Is our name confusing people....

[Nicola Pero]

Dropping an established brand name is terribly expensive and wasteful.
No matter how good the new name is, I don't think it would compensate for
the loss. ;-)

But, if you want to appeal and communicate to modern audiences, we can 
launch new "products" or "projects" or "packages" or "initiatives"
or whatever you want to call them - they could still be under the GNUstep 
brand umbrella but can have new names or presentations and appeal to different
audiences or communicate differently (even if the "content" is actually very
much simply a subset of GNUstep, maybe repackaged!).  Companies do things like 
these 
all the time, no reason why we can't do the same. :-)

Thanks

Subject: Is our name confusing people....

All,

I keep wondering if our name is confusing people as to what this
project is.   Since our name references a bygone standard (namely
OpenStep) and we have already, admittedly, moved on to being more of
an implementation of Cocoa than anything else the GNUstep name doesn't
really convey what the project is CURRENTLY all about.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this point?
