[Mathlib-develop] change name of mathlib

[Stefan M. <st...@he...>]

Hi,

what about changing the name of mathlib?

I did a search on google and it turned out more than 40200 hits.

A small change to Jmathlib turns out just 2 hits.

We could  just change the name on the webpages and in all
mails, so the search engines will find it in the future.

I also thought about a totally different name, like
jOnePlus
jAddAdd
....
these words are not used anywhere on the web.

The word "mathlib" is not very unique in my opinion and people
won't think of OUR mathlib when they read this word.

What do you think about this?

Kind regards,
   Stefan.

Also searching on the SourceForge site brings up five different projects.

I don't have any objections to changing the name. Though I prefer Jmathli=
b.=20

We discussed changing the License. If that's something that Peoople still=
 want=20
to do then it'd be a good idea to change the name to destinguish between =
the=20
two versions under different licences.

Best Regards

Mark
