Re: [projectvrm] Re-name VRM?

[Kevin Barron < >]

Simple idea:

Change the V for Vendor to T for Transaction:  TRM

If it's about leveling the playing field, then the emphasis should be on the 
transactions, not "vendors" vs "customers" (or vice versa).

Transactions can thereby become conversations, rather than being mired in the 
issue of control.
