Not sure I agree with you that the name should contain Apache Faces and Extensions (that's pretty long.) Keep in mind its only a subproject - not a full project.
The full project is Apache MyFaces. I would propose on the website we have a tab that says "mocassin, tomahawk, lonewolf, whatever ..." Then when you tab to the page you will see a header like "MyFaces Components + Goodies aka Tomahawk." This will let the user know that Tomahawk is really the same thing. I *really* do not like using the word extensions in the subproject name. Especially when combined with MyFaces, it implies that the contents extend MyFaces (which of course they do, but they also extend the RI.) There are three appropriate words here: 'components', 'extensions/goodies.' An accurate description of this subproject would require at least two words 'components+extensions' or 'components+goodies.' So this brings us back to the codename. The codename is just shorthand for components+goodies. We can still have the subproject's page describe in more words what the intent of the subproject is. But the SVN repository and jar file will use the codename. sean ps. I like mocassin too and I don't really mind the possible snake connotation. (I also don't mind the tomahawk or lonewolf connotations either.)
