I really liked the idea in the other thread of having the word 'hope' written on the bottom of the inside of the box. That would be a nice touch.
'Hope' is not a word I'd like to see when I've just purchased my £200 gaming console. :rolleyes:
But Pandora's box contained hope.

That's why it was suggested. Visual punnery.
Oh ok.
I never read that story.
Wasn't a bunch of demons and plagues and other bad stuff released when the box was opened?
If that's what the story is then print the inside of the box black for all those people who want a nod to the myth.
That'd be better then people (like me) who might get the wrong idea with having 'hope' there.
The story of Pandora's Box was that Pandora opened a pithos (A type of jar, mistranslated as a box) that contained all the evils of mankind—greed, vanity, slander, lying, envy, pining—and hope. The evils of mankind escaped, but she closed it quick enough to keep Hope inside. Hence, printing 'hope' on the bottom of the inside of the box--I think of it as symbolism of the hope that the Pandora brings to the open source community.
That really does sound like a good idea.
