Request: rename 'SafeCloset' tool to "SafeBureau"

Open TheRealBunbury opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

The tool looks great, but the name / metaphor is a little off: a closet doesn't typically have "drawers". However, a "bureau" does have "drawers" - and it makes the project sound way more cool (the name "SafeBureau" kind of evokes notions of the US' 'Federal Bureau of Investigation' / FBI, which itself is supposed to evoke feelings of security. I'll leave the critical discussion of the FBI's track record aside here.. ;) ).

So, I hereby formally request the project be renamed to "SafeBureau" ..

Thoughts?

p.s. thanks for your work on this tool, as well as for 'Broot' and also 'Bacon' especially. Great work!! Thanks for sharing!

Damn. Naming programs is quite difficult... especially in English for a French person :\

Well if you ever want a 2nd opinion while coming up with names for public projects in the future, feel free to get in touch - I have a real knack for coming up catchy names ;P

You can always reach me on Matrix at @bunbury:matrix.org
