[geeklog-devel] Time to rebrand 2.x

[Tony Bibbs]

Sorry, let me be a bit more clear.  We chose a name for this exact reason...to avoid a bunch of subjective back-and-forth that will only assuredly result in a case where it will be impossible to make everyone happy.  My original note was simply to inform everybody of the name chosen and look for any violent disagreement.  Short of that we'll proceed with the new name.

Thanks,

--Tony

If you call it 'a p t i g e e k' (without the spaces), that would be
unique. Zero hits on it in google, compared to over 1 million for
'aptitude'.

And it's still only 8 letters long. And the .com/.net/.org domain
names are available.

Nick.
