But do we want a staright forward descriptive name, or one that has to be 
explained.  KISS works pretty well.

I was thinking of a short description as follows :-

To provide an OpenSource quality CAD program available free to all under the 
GPL.
2/3-D parametric with an Open Format file system (XML-based)
Preconfigured defaults to enable system setting to architecture CAD, Modelling 
CAD etc.
Output modules to be able to drive CAM/CNC machinery.
yada...yada...yada...
