Technically, the official name would be "Apache Manifold" anyway. The
"Apache" always gets prefixed. Even Yukon may be okay since it would
actually be "Apache Yukon".
In short, we don't need to propose "Apache" as part of what we vote on since
that will automatically get added, I think.

I, too like it. There's a problem though:

Other similar possibilities include Multiplex, or maybe we get somewhere
by
using ManifoldCF? Or maybe "Apache Manifold" is different enough from
"Manifold System" to be distinguishable?
I think ManifoldCF is distinct enough, I think, but we may need a outside
ruling on that.
FWIW, Multiplex is also used, but it doesn't seem to be very significant:
This makes me think of movie theaters...

Has a nice short name, easy to pronounce, doesn't require funky acronyms
and from Webster's:
"Machinery . a chamber having several outlets through which a liquid or

Paraphrased, it's a a chamber having several outlets through which bits
are
gathered and distributed.

Can we agree that something like "ContentCF" is a possibility under
your
guidelines? (I'm not proposing that, I'm just trying to open the
field
up a
bit.)

From my end, most of that was off topic haggling - I'm not saying it
should be one way or other per seh. I personally see the benefit of
having a good unique word in the name of the project - and of trying to
follow the guidelines / feel of previous projects. I'd be perfectly
fine
with something like Apache Manifold Connector Framework. But push come
to shove I wouldn't even vote against keeping things as is with the
Apache Connector Framework.
