Fair enough. I could live with any of the other choices, but having this
"CF" suffix really messes a lot of stuff up and is less practical than any
of the other names. Basically, it means we may end up having to use "MCF" as
the shorthand name.
Wait... stop the presses... I just realized that "ManifoldCF" violates
selection rule #5:
(5) No more than 4 syllables
Man-I-fold-C-F (or is in Ma-ni-fold-C-F.)
That's five syllables.
And, technically, I would say that it at least half violates the spirit of
rule #1:
(1) It's a single word
It is a single word plus this extra "CF" acronym thing.
So, next candidate on the list was... Manicon, 19
Unless it has legal problems, it fits our requirements.

Jack,
That's one of the main purposes of having everyone list choices by
priority. If one doesn't work, there are others you can use.
I don't want to open that vote again unless the community decides that
the list of candidate names was simply not rich enough to furnish a
good choice.

I know people are tired of voting, but I think we should really re-vote
for
the revised candidate list with Connex removed.

hmmm...I think I'm all voted out. Can we just call it nothing?

Vote +1 to rename Apache Connectors Framework to Apache ManifoldCF.
Vote -1 to keep the project name of Connectors Framework, or to retain
Connex, if that wins its vote.
This vote also expires end of day on Friday.
Note: "Manifold" is a trademark for a GIS software product. However,
I agree with Grant that ManifoldCF appearing under the Apache label
should be safe to be used. But you should recognize that this vote is
not merely a referendum on the name itself, but also on the
suitability of the name in a legal context.
