Yorik's thoughts

I think you are right with the CAD thing. What we do here is no more CAD. CAD was a concept invented at early autocad times, when the Computer could Aid you to Design... FreeCAD is based on much newer concepts, it does parametric modelling, it has a strong programatic scheme, and it is "pluggable" and extensible at a point rarely seen in the software world, so it probably won't stay only a "design" software. So in my opinion too, there should be no more CAD in the name.

I think the name should be something futuristic, because FreeCAD is an ambitious project that needs good odds, and related to engineering. I don't know for you, but for me, futuristic + engineering makes me think to those "mechanic" japanese graphic books (appleseed, ghost in the shell, etc)...

Okay, I know, enough bla-bla, where are the names ideas? Okay, next time I bring real ideas.
