One reason I didn't use one of those to start with was that I
couldn't tell one from the other. One can barely tell the
difference between
"jee" "cee" "cee" and "jee" "cee" "dee" or "jee" "dee" "cee".

I like the idea of breaking away from the "g". And how do I put something on the OpenD web site, anyway?

That's a fair criticism.

I don't know, but I'll throw out some guess...

The request form may be helpful: http://www.opend.org/Request.html

I think Jan Knepper created the site and I suspect it runs on his server. I don't think he follows the D or D.gnu groups usually, but he does follow the c++.windows.32-bits group.

As you can see from visiting the site, Burton Radons is the main uploader (dli, dig, etc.). But he hasn't uploaded anything in a while.

It seems like nobody is greatly moved by the new names, so I'd like to motion that it be left as GDMD, at least for now.  I mean, it's a nice name that's easily differentiable from everything else and still is representative of what the program is.

How about FDC - Free D Compiler or just DC - D Compiler.

| How about FDC - Free D Compiler or just DC - D Compiler.

"fdc" might be ok (the same ball-park as "odc") but "dc" is
the standard "desk calculator" program.

What about just plain old GNUD, pronounced like 'thud' -- perhaps with a silent 'g' :-)

It's a funny thing... gdmd -- the title of this topic -- is beginning to grow on me...

Yeah, that's what happened to me.  I wrote that post with a lot of suggestion, and then realized that I really like GDMD better than any of them. ;)
