Hi,

Before, we were the «clavier-dvorak» project. But the project has 
evolved and it’s way different of others «dvorak-*» layouts. The name 
reflects our project, and calling it «dvorak-fr-*» is confusing, people 
might think it’s a fork of dvorak-fr, which is wrong.

In X.org, the naming scheme is «fr dvorak» for dvorak-fr, and «fr bepo» 
for Bépo. if you don’t like «bepo», at least call it «fr-bepo» (like 
X.org, and indicate clearly that it’s a french layout) or 
«fr-dvorak-bepo» (like before).

A bad name for the layout you can confuse some of our users (or 
non-users), so we think it’s important (and when it’s done, we can 
forgot it).

Thanks by advance
