[Clam-devel] [Fwd: CLAM catalan etymology]

[David García Garzón]

Yep, i already edited that in the faq. http://clam-
project.org/wiki/Frequenly_Asked_Questions and but i kept the definition that 
maybe it is not needed. Maybe we should also change that not just in the faq 
but also in the short description we repeat everywhere including the main 
page. I consider that the 'what CLAM stand for' should be less lengthy than 
the 'what it is CLAM' in that short description.
