Rename addon

[ath0mas]

To start with a "proper fork" #1, we are looking for a new name for addon and organization

name should refer to Twitter, Firefox, and maybe to the Echofon origin

Please share your ideas here, we'll update list, and choose among all shortly ;)

• Chirpfox (@AntoineTurmel)
• Echofon NG (@ath0mas)
• Not Echofon (@ozh)
• TwitterFox (@YoruNoHikage)
• Chofon (@YoruNoHikage)
• YAEC … Yet Another Echofon Client (@xchs)
• YATC … Yet Another Twitter Client (@xchs)
• Echofox (@GizMecano)
• Foxecho (@GizMecano)

@AntoineTurmel suggested "Chirpfox" :bird: on Gitter

I (@ath0mas) suggest "Echofon NG" to show the strong Echofon roots, and NG as for Gmail Manager addon that evolved into Gmail Manager NG after it discontinued

"Not Echofon" as @ozh decided to retire his fork #10

[YoruNoHikage]

There is also TwitterFox : the old name. I also suggest Chofon. :)

I don't think we should take Echofon in the name, as it is maybe a trademark.

[ozh]

The trademark point might be valid, although I think they don't care a bit

Chofon :+1: ! :)

[AntoineTurmel]

Yeah I assume Echofon is a trademark and soon or later they can sue us.

[AntoineTurmel]

This also means a new logo to avoid confusion ;)

[ozh]

@AntoineTurmel : interested in re-using the legal.png image? Even after renaming I think it would be best to keep record that we've been forking their code with their blessing (or sort of)

YAEC … Yet Another Echofon Client YATC … Yet Another Twitter Client

As a new "name should refer to Twitter, Firefox, and maybe to the Echofon origin", what do you think about something like Echofox or Foxecho for example? That seems answer the problematic, keeping a perceivable reference about the objective (easy to remember).

[AntoineTurmel]

Firefox will soon only allow signed add-ons, so we have to vote for a name.

• I have removed propositions including "Echofon" since it's trademarked: https://trademarks.justia.com/777/89/echofon-77789581.html
• "TwitterFox" is the former name of Echofon and also contains Twitter which is trademarked so it's a no

I put online a poll to vote for the name: http://twtpoll.com/forkechofon

[xchs]

Voted.

[AntoineTurmel]

@xchs thanks, so you haven't vote for your own propositions :open_mouth:

[xchs]

thanks, so you haven't vote for your own propositions

Nope. I've voted for Echofox, since this proposal is much better than mine. :smile:

[ozh]

Same, :+1: for Echofox :)

[gizmecano]

So, it seems that I'm not alone to perceive that a word like Echofox appears as particularly relevant in this instance... :angel:

[AntoineTurmel]

and...... Echofox won :) I'll soon rename and move the repo.

[ath0mas]

Echofon Unofficial at the moment :smiley: = maintained version more than a real rename of addon

[gizmecano]

maintained version more than a real rename of addon

In this case, why closing the issue? We could do it when the official renaming will be validated, no?

[ath0mas]

Name question is answered with Echofox If other issues related to publication go to an end (on AMO, and fully cutting off existing links to Echofon/UberMedia identity and services), we know that we will rename addon at the same time (?)

[gizmecano]

Okay. Thank you for clarifying the process.
