Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:20:31 +0000 Hello :-) Because of this reason: http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=6751.msg146274#msg146274 , we had change the name from "Rockbox Player" to "Lyre". We wanted a name from an animal (nature connection) and we think of a hardware running Rockbox as colorful (Rockbox themes are great!) and with great sound. We had a few names but we ended up with "Lyre": "A Lyrebird is either of two species of ground-dwelling Australian birds, most notable for their superb ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from their environment." Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird ; Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y But wait, Lyre is also the name of an instrument: "The lyre (from Greek λύρα - lyra) is a stringed musical instrument well known for its use in classical antiquity and later. The recitations of the Ancient Greeks were accompanied by lyre playing." Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyre ; Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN8LcLIgH3Q So we have both, the name of a bird and of an instrument. I want to ask to some admin of Rockbox wiki, to please change the name of wiki pages for this new name. http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxPlayer ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2009-03-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
