Re: Speculation about renaming the freeciv project

Urgh I'd rather not end up with another login >.<

I'd be wary of names starting with cul(t)o - culo in the Spanish 
speaking world has a rather unhappy meaning. We'd be leaving ourselves 
open to all sorts of ridicule.

Not sure where this is comong from. Civ is an almost brand name in the 
world of games, ditching that is a bit.. risky I think.

If there's developer time going spare, I'd rather see the return of the 
Palace or a nicer space-ship :)
