I don't agree with "Joy" (sorry, Johan), 'cause people wouldn't understand.
There's a lot of context needed before Joy becomes a positive and
constructive concept (which I acknowledge it can quite be).
Used in some usual context, Joy would become stupid (rejoice without
reason) or false (rejoice against reason), or totalitarian (people
ordered to rejoice); joy is a personal feeling; I appreciate it,
but truely, you can't decree it. It's up to us to produce it in our
users' hearts; but we shouldn't boast about it before or even possibly
after we manage (or not) to do it.
Perhaps Joy could be our project's secret name [I like it somehow],
but surely not the official name...
