We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name because we don’t think it does the project justice.
Extremely correct call.
Other FOSS devs, please pay attention to this. I don’t want to use apps called “Free<boring description>,” I want to use apps that have interesting names. Looking at you LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Whether something is gratis or FOSS is largely irrelevant, project names should stand on their own.
Good that they’re changing from Minetest, but this new name hardly rolls off the tongue. Maybe I’ll get used to it.
I’m so confused when people say that. It’s a short name without any difficult consonant clusters. What in it doesn’t roll off the tongue?
I think anything with an ambiguous pronunciation, where someone has to stop and think “wait… is it pronounced this way or this way?” isn’t the best name.

The question must be asked who is yudaddy and what does he do.
Nobody appreciates a Kindergarten Cop joke around here I guess
