Hi folks!
Ok, got an email today saying my Demonstration of the Q2 issue tracker got accepted to OOPSLA! Fun! So if you are going to OOPSLA, see you there!
And on another note - I have a few name proposals for the project:
1. Yeti - YET another Issue tracker (or YEt another Tracker for Issues). It is a short catchy name, there doesn't seem to be many other OSS projects having the name and ideas for a logo should be easy. :)
2. Seshat (or Sashet) - An Egyptian Goddess. The goddess of libraries and record keeping, it means "female scribe". So it is really fitting but the name itself is hard to say and not as catchy as Yeti.
Well, I probably have a lot more ideas for a name, but currently I am leaning strongly towards Yeti. What do you say? A cool and catchy name is quite important, funny enough.
regards, Göran
PS. I am still on vacation, will start working next week. Then I will start to open up the project on a public site. Even though the customer has decided to go open source, the license is not yet set - so I have to get that decided first, but it should be quick (MIT most probably).
PPS. If you guys have any questions about the system, feel free to post. Otherwise there will be much more info coming up next week (design documents etc)., and if I get the time - a downloadable demo.

Great news, congratulations :-) ! Have fun :-)

Yes, but for me Yeti is overstressed. So I would be for Seshat - or some new idea :-)

Thank you for information although you are in vacation :-)))

What's your opinion about the suggestions in the previous thread ? <shamelessly>because I like sonar :)</>

Sonar is kinda catchy, I agree. Which thread was that? Or better yet - could you repost the names?

Hi,
Sonar from the word itself is ideal, but it expresses not the right thing - or better too few things compared to the capabilities.
Turn we again the wheel:
- ColManI Collecting and Managing Issues - Platonica because - like Platon's allegory of cave - Requirements and Bugs are giving a picture of software, but only one like the shadows give from the world for the prisoners in cave.
now Göran (and Damien), you can pack out your further ideas :-)
Regards
Hans

I was leaning towards Yeti (YET another Issue tracker) or Seshat (or Sashet, Egyptian goddess) but now this morning when I glanced on my name candidates list one of the names suddenly looked quite good - not sure why I dropped it earlier:
Gjallar
I like it because it is unique and short (only two syllables which makes it easy on the lips), exotically spelled (both for english and scandinavians actually), and has a cool history and meaning from old nordic mythology. And there was no hit on Sourceforge nor did I see any other open source project that jumped out from a googling. Gjallar.org is taken, but there are other domains.
Gjallar (or Gjallarhorn) is the horn which Mimer and Odin used to drink from Mimer's well of wisdom and intelligence. It is also the horn used by Heimdall, the guardian of Asgard, to warn that the giants are coming to fight the gods and the end of the world is near.
So it is both the tool used to gain wisdom and intelligence :) as well as warn and communicate.
regards, Göran
Good! I like the nordic aspect of it :) Stef
