Re: [mousetrap-list] MouseTrap name, should it be changed?

Okay, I'm going to propose some sort of variation of Viewpoints.  It is
descriptive enough that it relates to using a cam as a pointer.  And it
has another meaning:

I've been studying Viewpoints for the past week and have been struck by
how it related to me as a visually-impaired person.  Viewpoints is a
theory in theatre that deconstructs space and time and studies movement
as it relates on stage.  Since "The Software Formerly Known As
MouseTrap" is about providing a form of movement for mobility-challenged
users, I see a connection there as well.

So, I think Viewpoints would serve us well both technically and
symbolically.

If we use viewpoints, that's still a generically googled word.  Any
suggestions on a spelling variation of Viewpoints?
