but seriously, please pick something that at least gives a clue
about what the project is about. I have no idea (from the name)
what mugshot or dogtail are about. I know this is against the open
source tradition of cute or obscure names but real engineering
isn't about cute and obscure...
I'm with you - I want to find a name that gives you a clue about the
purpose of the project. If I wanted something that was just cute or
obscure, I would have just named the project Tlon and the test suite
Yoshimi and called it a day.
I'd like disagree with you about Mugshot and Dogtail, though.
Consider this: Dogtail is a automated GUI tester. Instead of *you*
testing the GUI, the computer tests itself. The tail wags the dog, in
a manner of speaking.
So, knowing that, which would be easier to remember: Dogtail, or RHAGT?
Similarly, would "RHTS" tell you more or less about the project than
would something like "Luna"? Which would be easier to remember:
"Project Temper" or "FQA"?
It's definitely not about being obscure or cute. It's about being
memorable. Maybe even fun.
