Choosing a better name for the project

Post by Fred »

IMO the name DataReader is misleading, un-catchy and generally sucks, SO, let's help find a better one...

* His previous version was called OpenLogViewer which I quite liked.
* There was a planned project of a similar nature on this site called FreeView which is now a TV service in NZ (and probably other places).

Any other ideas?

Fred.

Gufi went with OpenLogViewer and so this thread is now null and void :-)

The problem is "openlogviewer" is also a Java project on google code for viewing log entries in a mysql DB and this'll create confusion and make google searches for his app highly ineffective...

http://code.google.com/p/openlogviewer/updates/list The project is relatively young like Gufi
s OLV too.

better to choose a catchy (Easy to search/find) name now....
