[MEI-L] Do we have to call it "MEI Go!"?

[Stefan Münnich]

Thanks Andrew and Don for pushing this issue forward.

If you don't mind I have set up a simple Doodle poll suggesting May 18th, 2017, as the end date, so the results are available for the MEI community meeting in Tours. Following Don Byrds collection of suggestions, I just added MEI Simple, MEI Presto(!) and MEI First as options (the "unserious" ones will eliminate themselves anyway, I guess). If anyone wants to have another name that hasn't been mentioned yet, please use the commentary function below the poll. 

There are three possibilities for every option:
1) Yes = "let us call us this way"
2) (Yes) = "if needs must"
3) No = "definitely not"

So, if you really don't like an option, make sure to click on "No" (not only "Yes" for the ones you like); there can be multiple yes'es and multiple no's. Please make also sure to provide a distinguishable name (I guess "Stefan" won't be, otherwise "p." in this only special case could work ;). 

And here is the link:

Cheers,
Stefan

You're welcome, Andrew.  I think a Doodle poll is a good idea; I just don't want to set it up myself!

It is, and has been, just a way of referring to a simpler version of MEI intended for wider adoption, and isn't a 'fait accompli'. Suggestions and critique are welcome, but rattling off messages with no attempt at organizing them and seeking consensus on a single name isn't really going to result in anything better.
