+1 on Cordova/Cordoba. I do like the name, and Ricardo Montalban is hard to beat as an endorsement. WebKeg is nice too, but may be considered "less serious" by some players. Although Keg is technically a general barrel/container :) No beer implied.

Googling it, I saw the github repo of Brian's as the first hit on the second page of hits; but that's just me and my browser. Also, there's this (luckily, different spelling): http://youtu.be/vIL3fbGbU2o . You can just smell that Corinthian Leather. I know the name "WebKeg" was tossed around, but was that a joke? On one hand, it implies "lots of beer" to me, which is perhaps not a great association. On the other hand, I'm reminded of the Big Keg o' Health from Unreal Tournament (some version before most of you were born, prolly). I could see a barrel busting out with awesome as a neat "logo" image. I like "web" in the name, compared to "device", since this project is more about exploiting web technologies rather than just devices - there are the "desktop" versions of the runtime to consider as well. -- Patrick Mueller http://muellerware.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
