Mmh, Charles, please don't overreact ... everybody on this list and
within this community has the right to question whether a name is
appropriate. Moreover, nobody knows if it simply came up when sipping on
a cocktail (slurp), or if somebody invested a lot of work. To all, I
think Charles is a bit stressed concerning names at the moment :-) Soon
you will know why.

However, until now I wasn't aware of Charles message. But yesterday,
I've noticed that there have been many questions and proposals
concerning the name. Maybe reasonable timing ... So I started to
summarize the "process" to agree on the "backup name" within our group
(in this case, group is the bunch of people who aim for the foundation).
I hope you will find it an interesting reading ... let me know (if not
*G*).

Here is the posting:

And already on the new planet (yeah!):
http://planet.documentfoundation.org/

Does it sound reasonable?

Cheers,
Christoph
