Name changeHi Harold,
This is an interesting post about changing the name of Elgg. It is true that we do get many people emailing to ask what it is an acronym for - in fact this is probably our biggest request :)
In a strange sort of way it seems to generate some discussion.
I guess the problem we have is that Elgg, although not widely known, is still building a bit of a following and to be honest we are not very good at choosing names so are not sure what we would call it if not Elgg.
It does concern me that a name actually makes it harder to get people to try it out - perhaps we should set up a poll on elgg.net to gauge wider opinion.
Thanks,
