[geeklog-devel] Perception is everything...

[Randy Kolenko]

What about paying out a bounty to one lucky individual who suggests an
alternative/new name for Geeklog?
Run it like a contest.  Although the bounty paid isn't HUGE, its sure
better than $0.
Create some buzz in the open source community and perhaps revitalize the
Geeklog core base of users to see that GL is not dead and that its
continually moving forward.
 
just my $0.02 worth.

		Me, I'd go on name alone:
		
		PHPNuke
		Geeklog
		Drupal
		Joomla
		Wordpress
		
		And in reality I went:
		
		PHPNuke
		Geeklog
		Drupal
		Geeklog
		
		Changing the name /might/ be good, but you have to
consider what

platform to
		build sites (glue as Euan suggested?) or to sell to the
		Wordpress/Drupal style market where they just want a
ready to go
		platform. i.e. developers or (I struggle to find the
right word here,
		non-technical site owners?)
