Title: Renaming TiTiTo

I wonder if I need to rename TiTiTo, since it might sound improper in some languages. What do you think or suggest?

Hello Volker!
To name an application, I think it is better to choose only the first letters of each word that makes up the name (like FET). Avoid choosing the first 2 letters. This way we will have a shorter name that sounds better to the ear.

for a new name I suggest the following name:
MAnual Timetabling Tool

Short name: MATT

The word manual comes from the fact that the main functions of this tool are done manually.

In addition, this name mentioned above, I think is easily read in all the languages of the world.

Thank you, Liviu!
MAT is also a good name, or maybe MA2T, because we have 2 letters of T.

Good ideas.
But "matt" is an English word for something like tarnish, dull or stymie. So I am not sure if that is fine.
Looks MA2T is used by a musician.
So I am not sue if it is good.
True: TiTiTo is manually, but i fear a bit guys might think it is for doing the timetable only. Maybe I should emphasize that it is for substitution and supervision planning? But I am not sure, since I can do more than that.
hmmm...
Thank you for the suggestions! I will think about it.
