Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Still?

Hi :)
It is really difficult to choose a name.

"Production" is also not in common usage and might confuse people.  It
kinda implies factory-work or suggests that it might be something to do
with coding to create LibreOffice.  I've seen it used in a few geeky places
but "normal users" (if such persons exists) are unlikely to have heard it.

"Still", to me, suggests stagnant, not going anywhere or stuck.  An example
might be "Blimey you are still stuck on this ancient pos?"

"Still" is a bit like the idea behind the SliTaz naming but they use
"Stable" too alongside their "Cooking" branch.  Perhaps we could use
"Simmering" as in "barely palpable simmering rage" or "In the UK public
disorder simmered just under the surface throughout the eighties
occasionally boiling over in demonstrations, strikes and riots".


I'm sure most parents are familiar with the difficulty of choosing a
suitable name!  Did anyone else go out and seek suggestions from other
people and run through previous suggestions?  Then finding that names they
had thought were great had suddenly turned very sour?  "The Doctor" in Star
Trek Voyager never does manage to settle on a name for himself but helps
choose a good name for Naomi.

Sorry NoOp!  I had assumed the name choosing would have been done
publicly!
Regards from
Tom :)
