[Gd-hackers] Names

[Chris Page]

Here are my current picks (leaving "Gwydion Dylan" unchanged)  
preferred name first:


Harlequin Dylan:

   Quine Dylan

   - A pun, referring to Harlequin ("quin"), to the fact that the  
implementation was bootstrapped in Dylan, and also could (roughly) be  
considered a command to build Dylan implementations and other  
software in Dylan.

   DylanWorks

   - An homage to the original working title (it never shipped with  
that name, by the way).


The Group:

   make(<dylan>)

   - If not the literal name of the group, I think it makes a great  
slogan. It could alternatively be spelled "Make Dylan", using "make 
(<dylan>)" only as a slogan or icon. An alternative name that still  
works with this is "Dylan Makers". An accompanying domain name could  
be "make-dylan.org".

   Open Dylan Project

   - Fairly bland and descriptive, but I like that it contains "Open  
Dylan" and works with the existing opendylan.org domain, which I  
think is a good name, just too generic for a specific implementation.

  that releases the magic smoke that makes it go.
