[iRail] iRail Digest, Vol 4, Issue 48

Thu Jul 19 16:08:39 UTC 2012

I actually didn't mean that the shortlist should already leave out some
possible names, I just wanted to avoid that members would vote for nonsense
names that are currently on the list. The shortlist could simply be a
"cleaned up" version of the longlist. Let's not make things too
unnecessarily complicated :-) I do agree with you though that we shouldn't
eliminate good names because of domain name problems, we can always work
something out.
