Even if it won the competition it is a bad choice as there is already a
spreadsheet application out there with this name. See

If there is already a spreadsheet application with this name, then this
is
an absolute no-go for me. How would we feel if some other project was
developping an application suite with:
YetAnotherApplicationSuite Words: text processor
YAAS Stage: presentation
YAAS Kexi: DB
YAAS Krita: painting
....

Don't do others what you wouldn't want to be done to you.

except that that other Abacus has been dead for 14 years or so

1) It's in the openSuse and Ubuntu repos.
2) The last change in the changelog at http://pkgs.org/opensuse-11.4/opensuse-contrib-i586/xabacus-7.4.1-1.2.i586.rpm.html is from 2008 what makes it 3 years old and not 14. 3) The last change in the changelog at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xabacus/+changelog is from 2011 what means it's still activly developed.

In any case I think that are exactly the reasons why we should have a discussion at the mailinglist before.
