Why Rename Tasky?We (Boyd and Calvin) created Tasky during Novell's Hackweek v2. We didn't really pay that much attention to the name and were just hacking as fast as we could so we'd have something usable by the end of the week. It turns out, there are already a couple of existing projects out there that use the name "Tasky." So, we're looking for a new name. This page is to collect all of the submitted names. CriteriaThe name has to meet the following criteria: - It is not trademarked (i.e., it's not the name of a company, product, etc.)
- It hasn't been used for a previous software project
- Ideally a Google Search for the name doesn't bring up lots of non-related content. For example, if you search for "evolution" the results are littered with stuff totally unrelated to the Evolution Email Application.
- It sounds cool :)

Some interesting possibilities when looking up "task" on thesaurus.com....
ball-breaker hanky-panky deadweight excess-baggage tongue-lash donkeywork
Hmm.. nah, none of these will work, although donkeywork was interesting. I'll come up with something.
hey people - i have got a suggestion for the name
boydscal - (Boyd)'s Cal(vin)
how s it ?
My suggestions are: labos = task/undertaking cura = office/task/responsibility/post aerumna = toil, task, labor arduum = arduous/difficult/hard task pensum = task/stint
Tazkmania
Hmmm....How about,
Get-tuit ?
Can you make that prize check out for a hundred euros instead? ;-)
Red Fish Manager (because we say that red fish have a 3 second memory, so they need a Manager to help them)
OnTime? ToDone? ToDo123? Novell Enterprise ToDo? Planner Professional Edion Gold Pack Tasker
"Tache Pistache" from a french expression "T'as une tâche ? Pistache !"
bossy, task dump, daysort...
How about: reminder ?
Moonmilk would be a good way to tie the GNOME theme and Remember The Milk together, while still having a name with another meaning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonmilk (see also http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_nm/or_orego.htm)
What about remember, elephant (they have good memory), or a variation
phantasky (fantastic, elephant and tasky) el phantasky
Taskaroon
MonkeysOnMyBack?
May suggestion is to be very positive/optimistic:
'Done'
"Jobs".
what about tatask
I like gtasky. It has a clean google search also.
I also like tasker, as the name ( and project goals and methodology ) fits well with giver. But that name is highly encumbered. So what about gtasker - it's clean.
