Lessons learnt: When choosing repository names, its all about branding [2]

There’s one thing that any software developer, experienced or noob, would tell you: The real difficulties in software design aren’t buried deeply inside an Algorithm Bible/Quran/Torah/{insert your manifest of choice here}.

The really hard part is “How should I name this thing?”

So, when we moved our repository over to the Google server farms, we chose the most appropriate name that was available then. The other name, as much as it would have fit our project better, was taken, unsurprisingly.

But, to our delight, the owner of textpattern.googlecode.com noticed this quirks within days and invited us there. And so the Textpattern code repository had to move once again. Branding, you know?

Sorry for all the inconvenience. Really. And thanks to Stallon Selvan for transferring this spot to us.
