RE: [Pythoncard-users] possible project names

PythonCard isn't too bad. I think a lot of baggage is self-imposed. I think
we could drop a lot of it by simply changing the project description. And
PythonCard has gained a certain amount of exposure. At the same time, I
don't think a name change would be bad, as long as the name was good.

I'm not wild about PyCard either. And even I'm getting a bit tired of the
PyCrust pun. My future projects will probably go to the other extreme and
avoid cleverness at all costs. PyCrust isn't too bad for the shell, because
its a pretty trivial application. PythonCard, though, deserves a really good
name, imo.

There is already an outliner/info manager called Zoot
(http://www.zootsoftware.com/), although not written in Python or in any way
related to HyperCard.

Just a 2 cent contribution from someone who lately only has time to
contribute by the penny.
