[Conkeror] Change the name of Conkeror, quickly!

[Deniz Dogan]

Hello, fellow Conkeror users

This is a public service announcement! There has been much discussion
in the IRC channel about changing the name of the web browser. I think
I'm probably the most eager one to change the name, so please know
that this is a very biased post. Also know that this is pretty
important to have this discussion right now, since people are pulling
strings to have an official logo made for us.

The main reason for *me* wanting to change the name is that it is
pronounced the exact same way as Konqueror, a KDE web browser and file
manager, with a much bigger user base. This has confused people I've
talked to about the browser a lot and seeing as KDE was first released
way back in 2000, it was a terrible choice for a new web browser to
begin with. I have no law degree, but I suspect that some legal issues
may arise from this as well.

Of course, there are reasons for keeping the name as well, but
personally, I don't think they make up for the fact that another
browser is called the same thing. One of the reasons for not changing
the name that comes up frequently is that it would be "too difficult"
to change the name. Sure, it would be difficult *now*, but consider
how difficult it would be if the user base was to grow drastically in
the future. Then we would have quite some (chest)nut to crack. Another
reason for not changing the name is that the name is nice. I agree, it
is a nice name -- it's just that it's already taken that bothers me.

What do you think about the current name? Why should we change it? Why
should we keep it? How should we make a final decision about it? And
if you want to change the name, what would you like it to be called
instead?
