Re: [tei-council] what's in a name?

Well, apparently we didn’t all vote in time, and we probably shouldn’t be speculating about why people didn’t vote. It sounds as if we’re reopening the conversation and adding new options to vote for. So what are we going to do about that? Perhaps a new ballot, and we don’t close the voting until everyone’s had a say? There’s also, of course, the question of HOW we’re voting. What if we were to rank the several options we have in order of preference, just as we do in voting for a Council or Board election? Yes, it’s more complicated, but it also helps us to determine when people really “abhor” a particular option. I suppose I "abhor” Simple as much as Magda “abhors” Bookish, but I hope we can still be friends when the dust settles! Of course I know we’ll discuss this on Thursday.

As far as names are concerned, my preference is for TEI Go.

That said, I think we should have Council/Board's majority for changing the status quo. I see reasons for both sticking to Simple (and perhaps in the future going for Simple Print and others in that vein) or naming customizations for intended purpose (so TEI Print). I absolutely abhor TEI Bookish.

Sorry for jumping in late; death in the family has really bollixed up my schedule.

* I dislike "TEI Simple";

* I'm OK with "TEI Bookish" or "TEI Go";

* I'm OK with "TEI Old Print" if written that way, but outright like it written as "TOP";

* I repeat my suggestion from Vienna: "TEI for Early Modern Printed Books", aka TEMPB (pronounced "temp bee").
