Re: [lp-ca-on] tax software name

[Allan Zhang]

I think a name like ImpôtLibreTax will alienate both English and French 
speakers.

Present software has simple names like TurboTax or StudioTax and a simpler one 
will be more useful (what does the average person think of a software called 
ncmpcpp?)

Looking at the application, they want a clearly defined scope. Federal and 
provincial? What languages? Which provinces? Web, mobile, and/or desktop?

This should be sorted out before the two week deadline. Perhaps discussed here 
and tracked on the wiki.

But importantly, who is going to brunt the costs?
Is there a developer fee if your application is approved?
