I agree. Now it been changed to "Dylan", although now it looks a  
little forlorn.

I agree. I think "HFO" is a little long, even as an acronym. How  
about "HF Dylan"?

I really think "Open Dylan" is too generic and that we're better off  
renaming it. I really don't think the current name is entrenched to  
the point that it would be confusing to anyone to rename it.

But I'm more concerned with clearing up the naming situation than I  
am with exactly which names we choose.

If we're not going to rename "Open Dylan", then I think it's  
important to choose just about any decent name for the group and use  
that to derive a new domain name, and update the website to reflect  
the name of the group. Some name without the phrase "Open Dylan" in it.

I agree; though, if we're going to name the group something other  
than "Open Dylan <something>" I think we should get a new primary  
domain name and have opendylan.org forward to it. In fact, we could  
have gwydiondylan.org and opendylan.org each forward to the  
appropriate implementation-specific home page.
