Let's have a vote on this. Personally I vote for "LispOS". It's
clear and obvious what it means (which is important for something
which is as yet still obscure).
I also vote that we put a few other characters in the name to make it
a bit clever and unique. (A bit like TeX has the strange
capitalisation.) I therefore nomintate the name...
(Lisp OS)
With the parenthesis giving it a lispish flavour.
I suggest that everyone send their vote to Ahmed so we can settle on a
name.
