All that discussion of names makes me think we should choose something fairly meaningless but somehow appealing[1]. So, a brand name, if you want: easy to remember and with pleasant connotations, not necessarily descriptive or accurate. Simple actually is such a name. But if not that, how about TEI Lean or TEI Neat (already proposed but went without comments). Perhaps other ideas in that vein? I like the sound of Bookish as working title but support James' reserve it's not serious enough, even for me. At the end of this, do we have a vote or what? I wonder how to get this discussion leading somewhere... Magdalena [1] one of the aims of having that customization being selling (or actually giving for free) the idea to innocent librarians and students who couple months down the road realize they've gotten themselves into an expensive habit, right? ;-) On 21 October 2016 at 17:34, James Cummings <James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk> wrote:

If you'll allow your webmaster to interject, let me say that I support "TEI Bookish". Lite and Tite, and Simple are all easily confused because of phonic and semantic similarity, which means no one can keep them straight. On the other hand, "bookish" sticks in your head. --Kevin
That to me seems like an argument against it.... ;-)
I'm usually prone to the Silly but the 'ish' just seems like we're not taking it seriously at all to me.
but I should stop whinging and let others have their say so I'll shut up for awhile. ;-)
