Description Dan 2011-01-31 03:52:47 UTC
The name "Evolution" for the great email and calendar program is not modern, attractive anymore and sounds not professional. So people would rather choose another program.

I would suggest to change the name so people get more attracted to the program and to Linux itself.
Unfortunately I am not so creative, but I know that there are a lot of people with great creativity in the Linux community. So please post your ideas. I am excited to read your proposals. Thanks.

No we're not changing the project name.

Wow, that was quick! Why not?
Comment 3 Dan 2011-02-01 06:35:06 UTC
Bump.
