Personally I think that the chaps should focus on making the product even better instead of branding - the name can obviously change later when they decide to push for market release and by then they probably would be clever enough to seek the wisdom of someone to help them there.

The day I make any sort of money from the software I pirated to make it happen is the day I'll start buying licenses for it.

Re:Why I Use Fossil on Tuesday June 15, 2010 @03:49PM (#1433669)
Ugh.

Zed, like drh miss the point yet again because they are closed minded programmers and keep on forgetting that people who are not programmers may end up using fossil as they wish to contribute a ticket or documentation to a project running on fossil, but get reluctant dealing with the crappy UI or the fact that they have to learn to do markup. It's also clear that drh really isn't interested in anybody else but his needs.

Git has Junio Hamano who made it usable and practical to people who weren't Linus. Who's this hero in Fossil? Well, it looks like the mailing list is still waiting for them to arrive.
