[RFC] Changing the project name

Hi,

I have the belief (and some IP right enforcement cases underlining a potential danger) that the
project/game name should stop referring to its worms-clone origin. I have tried to list things required
for that (imo required) transition here:
http://www.wormux.org/phpboost/wiki/name-transition

This is both a dangerous thing to do, and a potential opportunity. A dangerous thing because transitions
always incur the risk of loosing something, an opportunity because the change and required actions may
bring new attention to our project.

This shall coincide with several things that, if debatable, should be split off to their own discussion thread:
- numbering change (a long-standing discussion); among those consulted, year.month was the preferred format
- release of the new version, including Android support; it will be delayed by the transition

Well, what do you think about it? Anyone volunteering for some of the tasks?

Best regards,
Christophe
