Re: [Bug-gnupedia] The name `Alexandria' is too overloaded

[Tom Chance]

As much as talk of names bores me personally, I do
agree with you. We need a name that conveys the idea
of our project, without engendering a horde of people
telling us "that name is already in use!". Esp as
alexandria has been used 3 times now. As such:

*) No names based on classics or novels etc (cliched
and too likely to have been used)
*) Should convery the ideas of Open/Free/GNU/cultural
resource.

I quite liked GNUledge. Though for this to grow from a
computing project, I think the title needs to reflect
the project more than its background, which is what
made Alexandria quite good. So suggestions? It'd be
good to sort this out quickly.
