Karl, you are the de facto naming czar. You get to take the community input
and figure out how to "interpret" it so that it so that it reflects a
general sense of the spirit of the community.
So, now you get to "rule" on my objections to ManifoldCF! And the chips can
fall where they may.

Subject: Re: [VOTE] Rename Apache Connectors Framework to ManifoldCF
I'm tempted. Apache Nothing has a nice ring to it. ;-)
Maybe we should just give up with the voting and appoint a Naming
Czar. Seriously.

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.
