Pretty darned quiet - either "it's summer" or nobody feels like
joining the fray
when Roy and Will go at it?
In any case, although I don't disagree with niq that almost
everyone knows this
as 'Apache', that isn't/cannot be our product name, and I think
just about all
here would agree. The clever Apache Web Server was interesting,
but in the
archives that was considered/eliminated on several occasions in the
past.
I think it would have been more effective to place a list of product
names in STATUS and let people vote for the ones they like, dislike,
or don't care. That way we wouldn't be limited to the list you gave.
I've been too busy this month to care -- I came back from vacation to
find that our entire office needs to move down the street within the
next three weeks and the new office needs power, phones, network wires,
and all that other stuff designed and installed before move-in.
