=== Naming ===
Naming is usually the last problem to be solved, even while we all wish for a cool name to our cool concept. Since the "coolness" of a name is a matter of taste, we cannot help you finding it. Moreover, if you tie your project name to a certain feature, you might discover somewhere down the road that no concept is perfect and that you might want to change what you initially thought a key feature. Nothing would be more stupid not to evolve just because you '"want to stick to a name'"...
 
A lot of good information on naming can be found in [[Topic:15250|this]] thread. Simply put, naming your operating system <name>OS (JackOS, FredOS, etc) may seem like a good idea, until you get a second project member. A good idea (courtesy of Solar) is to choose a codename (like Longhorn, Chicago, etc) and then make up a better name closer to release time.
