David is correct - at some point we agreed that the project shouldn't
have a name (at least that is visible to users). However, in some
recent IRC discussions I removed my objection to having some form of
one-word name for the project only for developers (ie the actual
binary's and library's and code repos etc would have that name). The
reason I was persuaded this is a good idea was because the whole
KDE-Telepathy vs TELEPATHY-KDE thing was becoming such a hassle and it
would be nice just to have some 1 word name of our own (a bit like how
Telepathy stuff in gnome is generally empathy-foo rather than
telepathy-gnome-foo).
Anyway, just because I have come round to this doesn't make it a
foregone conclusion - I don't recollect being the only person
objecting to branding the project - and I certainly don't want to see
any project name creeping into user-facing parts of the project.
