Future of ion3 / Name suggestion

Hello,
I'm very happy to see that I am not the only one who is using ion3 and thinks about the future (I already posted
about this at the archlinux forums). I fully support the idea of forking it, choosing a new project name and
continuing the development.

I would suggest the following name:
- nion (interesting about this name is, while it would be an acronym for not-ion, it is also the irish name of
the fifth letter of the Ogham alphabet an probably meaning "fork" as I read at wikipedia and what we are
doing here is a fork, isn't it? :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nion)

If I could be of any help (e.g. taking one of the managing positions Timandahaf mentioned), I would be glad to
do it.

Best regards

i'm vouching for you, just because you're the only one who had the
courage to step up so far.

Very clever name....

Very good name IMHO. Hope they don't have any trademark. 

Regards.
