Well, I think it's better just to vote. We'll never get everyone to
agree anyway.

And for the record: If "Coral" is a a combination of Beryl/Compiz
somehow, then so is "CoCo" obviously. The horrible combinations tend
to not get any votes so it's not much of a point to create a rule (on
who's authority?) to disallow names that are already out of the
picture. And honestly, it's just a name.

This is off topic and you formulate it in a way that makes it sound
like you are very bitter, which makes me a bit sad. Create a new
thread and I'll gladly discuss it with you, I'm sure we can figure out
how to adjust the direction of the project if we work together. I
believe the basic problem is fairly easy to pin down... But we need a
new thread, and we need help from people just like you.
