System 6 Browser Development Opinions

[QuadSix50]

Not that it matters but I actually think "Browser6" (or whatever it is) is an appropriate, straight-forward name that says what it is and what it does. 68rowse just kind of sounds weird, and it's a bit misleading in that it makes you think it is the most appropriate option across the board, when there may be more appropriate options for other types of 68ks.
Also, it sounds very awkward in English. [] ]'>

Anyway -- that's all I have to say about that.

I have to agree. "Browser6" does roll off the tongue nicely.

68rowse, which I suggested, is actually to be pronounced 6-Browse, it uses leet.

That's settled then, the executable file will be named "Le petite fromage", but all references in license will refer to browser6.

I don't speak french.

IIIIII LIKE IT!!!!!!!!! :lol:

 

[tomlee59]

Perhaps Le Petit Fromage?

 

[equill]

Why not let the imagination loose, but focus on the appropriate gender as tomlee59 has suggested?

Water bat Das Käselein? Il formaggino? Da liddle chiz? Caseus parvus? Or mebbe let its dad name it something like Browser6?

A mistake people often make is to try and think of a name before getting down to actually making the product. What's wrong with Browser6? If every company spent all their time thinking about the name, we'd have no products to buy! Look at Apple - they have lame names for most of their products (Pages? Numbers? Bonjour? Apple TV????) -- forget the name and get us a beta (or, alpha) build!

I will call mine Gerald. I will keep it in a box, and love it and pet it, for ever and ever.

I like it a lot! Let just hope this is not a sign your code is full of holes… 

Perhaps Le Petit Fromage?

Actually this is an anglo-saxon habit to put capital letters to all words in titles, names, etc. Poerter is correct, in french you give a capital letter to the first word only. Hence Le petit fromage

As the swiis guy around, I must say thats really a cool name!

 

[equill]

Not a mere habit, but a convention of the language. A king. The King. A government. The Government. A little cheese. The Little Cheese. English-speakers could as well, and with as little point, criticize Romance languages for not capitalizing proper names when it is proper to do so. (proper = own).

A resident of Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera should not need to have that convention emphasized, nor capitalization of all substantives as part of a (modern) practice. And even in français, La suisse is not the same as La Suisse. And you seem to have missed the mismatch between 'petite' and 'fromage' that tomlee59 was flagging. Motes and beams, perhaps?

I was trying to say that to me the name of the program is unimportant.

 

[equill]

Understood, and I have complete sympathy with the viewpoint. That said, however, I have to admire the crafting of a catchy double-entendre such as 'SuperDuper!' for an app.

My posts were just another of the OT asides that even the nicest threads can generate. No-one despises you for not being up with the subtleties of gender in other languages. Had it been a language with three genders, just think of the extra possibilities for discourse ...

I could have remained neutral.

I think the name "unimportant" has a nice ring to it!

If we are not careful it will be "Ways and means".

Wouldn't a browser that did not import be somewhat handicapped?

Do you want "United Nation's international movement of formicidae"?

 

[tomlee59]

I kind of like da liddle chiz myself.

Or we could go post-modern and call it not cheese.

 

[JDW]

I by no means wish to discourage the effort by being overly pessimistic or skeptical, but it is rather silly to come up with anything other than code names at this stage. For none of us know when or if this fine idea will actually become a working and usable piece of software. Keep in mind that we do not even have an alpha version to test yet.
