--- Comment #4 from Jens Petersen petersen@redhat.com --- (In reply to Ralf Corsepius from comment #3)
Just a remark: I guess you are aware, there once was a then-very-popular email client called "elm" [1]. Though I am not aware about any current Linux distro is shipping it, I'd expect finding a package named "elm" would cause some confusion *nix old-timers ;)
Right - it had crossed my mind. I did a little digging and as far as I can tell the last release that shipped with elm was RHL 7.3 (2002). (I don't see it in Fedora Extras either.) So I hope this is not a big concern still now. But it might be an additional argument for calling this package "Elm" instead of "elm". :)
(If it is really is a concern perhaps we could call it elm-lang in line with the upstream website but this will only makes maintenance life harder.)
