What makes a good open source project name, and what makes a good name for a product, or even a feature within a product? And, does it really matter in the world of open source software?

Products and Projects: What’s in a Name? « Open Source Advocacy with Reverend Ted

It is an interesting read with many great points though it fails to nail it. In the article it mixes products that are targeted at different audiences.

“It” is your audience. The product and project name are likely for different audiences.

A couple of hours into my first WordPress bug hunt, I am very impressed by the bug hunting environment that rboren, robmiller, and crew create. It is an amazing collaboration environment! It is actually true that “all participants are welcome to join” (WordPress Bug Hunts « WordPress Codex).

There are about 10 people in the #wordpress-bugs IRC channel. It is a shame that more software testers and developers, amateur or professional are not taking advantage of learning from and working with such talented people on such great software. I guess it is still early in the 24 hr hunt.

Much of his post dilutes the wisdom in the post: most people don’t care about free culture, they want their tools and gadgets to just work. It is not an iPod generation thing like Eric and Chris suggestion, it has long been the case and will likely be the case for generations to come.

It does depends on who your audience is. First world problems?
