I think we've had good discussion and have furthered the thinking
in some areas that were contentious in the Proposal. We're probably
aligned in some places and still have differences of opinion in others.
I'll try and summarize in an email over the weekend to help (at least
me!) sync where we are. Hope that will help.
thanks -Jim

I believe therefore that we have now returned to the original
question... what should the name of the new podling be called? :)
I think "Apache Jinn" and "Apache Genie" have already been proposed.
Other alternatives could be "Apache Jafar" or "Apache Jasmine" based
on characters from the Disney film featuring the famous genie. (Though
I'm quite sure that "Jafar" and "Jasmine" are trademarked by Disney.
Is that a problem for us?) "Apache Aladdin" would also be nice, but
"Aladdin" is already heavily used.
Would the Jini community be happy with bringing the project in under a
different name? At some point it was mentioned that keeping the "Jini"
name would be the preferred choice. I'd like to advocate using a
different name also from the point of view that there is currently no
exact definition of "Jini", and starting "Apache Jini" would just add
to that confusion.
Are there any other open issues regarding the proposal?
BR,
Jukka Zitting
