[haiku-development] Re: Name the package manager Software Valet (Dario Casalinuovo)
I don't think the software valet name is self-descriptive at all. Maybe it
could be for English speaking people, but i was just thinking on how it
could be translated to Italian, and i ended up that it would
be misunderstood/confusing, for example valet is pretty similar to
valletta which usually refers to assistant/dancers girls in tv shows (and
similar things). In some other meanings it could be intended as the
masculine valletto, which become from the middle ages and was referred to
the knight squire (this is a meaning in disuse, but you can find it already
in dictionaries).

Without a clear goal, there's a danger it will either meander or will simply
be seen as a another Linux distro/clone.

I do like Haiku Depot too - has a nice ring to it (like the semi
tongue-in-cheek nature of BeOS of old) and, as you mention, it's a natural
progression from BeDepot.
Perhaps the icon could be a truck with apps loaded in it.
And I loved the restaurant analogy - I'd never considered that before!

Name should be very clear meaningful to *users*. Download Applications

If you're intending to sell out and try to be mass market (a pretty tall order

anybody else has since either, so, we're in the clear to use the name

Besides, it would be a nice homage to BeOS if we use SoftwareValet, which
