Vote for TREX or XaRT Poll ends May 3, 2013
Please help us choose a name for the Xara registry editor we will be creating. The suggestions have been narrowed down to two contenders both of which have snappy nicknames.
Taylored Registry Editor for Xara or TREX This choice directly acknowledges that our departed friend Bill Taylor who was the primary code developer for XaREG
Xara Registry Tool or XART It could be pronounced zart. This choice, while less sentimental doesn't require the user to "get" the reference to Bill Taylor. Bill's name doesn't have to be in the name of the program, he can be remembered on screen in the programs about screen, in a footer perhaps and/or on the software's download page.
So make your choice. This poll will close on May 3, 2013.
NOTE: We can not use XaReg because the code and the name belongs in whole or in part to Bill's estate. And we are not using any of his code in this project and we don't have permission to do so either.
In most, if not all, countries of the world naming a product the same name as another, pre-existing product that does the same thing, is discouraged or illegal. In any case it is deceptive or confusing. And even though using the same name is meant as an homage or memorial, really doesn't matter.
