I'm taking suggestions/votes for a new name, before DSSS is old enough

the actual system is still going to be the D Shared Software System.

Personally, I don't mind the name as it is.  Plus, I like it when a suite's
binary has the 
same name as the suite itself.  But: how feasible might it be to design DSSS's
binary such 
that the actual name of it doesn't matter?  Maybe that would be better for
some.  Or not, 
I really don't know.

Since this is supposed to be suggestions, how about:

dmand -- as in the 'ondmand' suggestion already made, but a bit shorter
dmerge -- as in 'emerge' on Gentoo... ;)  Probably /too/ similar for safety,
though
dport -- as in 'portage' ... but that's not exactly right
desire -- *shrug*
dsc -- D.S.SS C.lient?  (Reminds me of a time when 'Mango' was 'D Server
Classes'.)
dvn -- as in D-VersioN, parody of SubVersioN
dsoft -- *shrug*

And finally.........

dsource -- like the web site ;)

I guess my "top three" would be 'dsss' as it stands, 'dmand' and 'desire'.

I'm just afraid it might lead to confusion.  And/or to the impression that the
site staff 
(Hi Brad) and the DSSS developer are the same... Maybe one day it might happen,
never

How about "DS3"?

At least that way, it doesn't look like a maritime reference of some

I wouldn't mind that.  In discussing DSSS with a buddy I was actually

That's not a problem at all. I firmly believe in airing *all* the 
possible suggestions, even if they're not always stellar.  That's 
because "good" is highly subjective when it comes to things like this.

Edison: "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent 
perspiration."

Which follows up to a corollary that is often attributed to him: "I 
have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

You'll find the right name for this thing.  The question is: will you 
have to sit down with the 'D' section of the encyclopedia to do it? ;)


PS,
Not to thread-jack, but I found this blurb on Wikipedia, that sounded 
eerily like another stereotype that we're all too familiar with around here:

The day after Edison died the New York Times contained extensive 
coverage of Edison's life, with the only negative opinion coming from 
Tesla who was quoted as saying, "He had no hobby, cared for no sort of 
amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most 
elementary rules of hygiene"

"Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld Tesla's patent number 
645,576 in effect recognizing him as the inventor of radio."

"Immediately after Tesla's death became known, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation instructed the Office of Alien Property to take possession 
of his papers and property, despite his US citizenship."

"Tesla had been continuing work on the teleforce weapon, or death ray, 
that he had unsuccessfully marketed to the US War Department. It appears 
that his proposed death ray was related to his research into ball 
lightning and plasma and was composed of a particle beam weapon. The US 
government did not find a prototype of the device in the safe. After the 
FBI was contacted by the War Department, his papers were declared to be 
top secret."

By this time I'm really confused. Wasn't this supposed to be about "too 
hard to type"? "dsrc" sure isn't any easier than "dsss".

I vote for "dsss".

I've decided I don't care for dmand that much afterall... just because having
the D at 
both beginning and end seems awkward to me.

yeah, shared source does remind me too much of ms.
I'd like more something like
D'Vault
or D'Store
or D Wallet
or D Walter :-)
or D Grok
or D Pearls
or D Code
or ...

there should definitively be a capital D in it

The voting is over.  DSSS stays 'dsss'

There was a tie between dsss and ondmand, as maintainer I am the 
tiebreaker, so foo to you.

The results, calculated with both flat voting and split-vote instant 
runoff (which produce the same results but SVIR is more interesting ;) 
), are below

This guy might have a point, 'dsss' is not a name that sticks.  And it 
doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.  I think it would be nice to give 
what might become a central tool for D users a more branding-friendly 
everyday name.  And one that is easier to pronounce.

So I'd like to suggest 'dsoft' as the new name.  Simple and descriptive, 
almost to the point of being boring.  It's only two syllables, and 
completely without any puns.

They better learn how to use alias'es in shells. Or:

$ echo -e "all: *\n\tdsss build" > Makefile

and use "make" instead of dsss build



Don't change the name. It's perfectly fine. Not too long, not too short,
easy to remember and unique enough.
