I would strike the name (who cares about names?) and do an initial commit
first. The question is, wether the commit should be "cleaned" (eliminate
occurences of "ion", substitute with "notion") or not. If we do _not_
clean
the initial commit, we are definitely not allowed to distribute it (or
offer public checkout until it is "cleaned"). 

I think, job assignment will be easier after we will see who is actually
_able_ to spend time and contribute code, ideas, etc. You won't be happy
in
wasting your time assigning some important roles to anyone whose
experience
is just some "hello world" code.
