Just saw this Brendan, that's awesome, I'm really glad you like the name. If it makes any difference, I started out the list of name suggestions with extensions I liked and then worked backwards to justify the acronym, which is why it's a bit wonky in terms of grammar. In fact ".mox" literally came to me as a "futuristic .mov file" so I'm glad you picked up on that! I hope you go with it, that was probably my favorite. I think it can be said either way...

OK folks, I think I've come around on this name change.  Just got to refine it.


Does anyone else find "Movie Open Exchange" to be sort of grammatically awkward?

I'm thinking maybe just drop the official meaning and leave it up to people's imagination, like the EXR in OpenEXR.  Does anyone care that DPX stands for Digital Picture Exchange?


Then how should we capitalize it?

"Hey, send me over a Mox file."
"That MoX file done rendering yet?"
"The client really needs their MOX file!"


I think I'm partial to MOX.

And can we agree that it's pronounced as one syllable, not "em-oh-ex"?


Brendan
