Can I just register disapproval of the preceived 'need' to include 'gn' (or
even just 'g') in the name of all GNOME apps? Not only are we going to run
out of names far faster if this is followed, but it means you get some
hideous sounding program names in the process.

I know that there are an increasing number of GNOME apps that don't stick by
this convention, and I think this is a very good thing, to be strongly
encouraged.

I'll also vote in favour of 'Erudite', in case anyone cares. Nice word,
needs more exposure :-)
