[Galago-Devel] Re: [Growl-devl] Move to SVN

[Christopher Forsythe]

Growl will not change it's name. We'd love to work with the other 
notification type things for other platforms, but the name stays the 
same. The reasons are as follows:


1) I've already bought the domain. It's already setup on the new host.

2) A lot of people already know the name Growl

3) The forums are setup to be named "Growl!"

4) We'd have to change everything in svn

5) It fits os x (puma, panther, jaguar, tiger, they all growl)

6) When something Growls, you know it is there. This is the same theory 
as a notification. When an app notifies you of something, it notifies 
you that it is there.

And finally, the best reason of all....

7) Growl is cool :D
