I have a general comment about the Apache [whatever] Extensions Project convention. We are really talking about a subproject of MyFaces. IMO we do not need to describe this subproject with the words "Apache" or "Faces."
Consider the Shale subproject. People just refer to it as "shale." Shale is just shorthand for a Struts subproject that deals with JSF stuff (I'm simplifying what Shale is but describing Shale is not the point of my post.) Nobody calls it Apache Shale Struts project or whatever. My proposal is that we use a codename from the project and drop the words "Apache", "Faces" and "Extensions." IMO "Extensions" is a possible alternative to a codename. I still do not think it accurately describes what is in the subproject (it contains standalone JSF components that have nothing to do with "extending" MyFaces.) My thinking is that the use of a codename (instead of the currently confusing label of "components") will make things easier for the users to understand what the subproject is for. On our website we can have a new tab labeled "Tomahawk" or whatever. If the user navigates there they will get the longer explanation of what the subproject is. The jar file would be tomahawk.jar (or whatever name you choose.) IMO this is all that is necessary. Currently I like tomahawk the best but warpaint is interesting. I wonder if those that do not like tomahawk because it is "too martial" won't also object to warpaint on the same grounds though. Warpaint does have the nice dual meaning of "war" however. I could also live with mocassin. I don't really like extensions or any of the other choices (bijoux) that much. sean On 6/6/05, Martin Marinschek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Incorporating the latest feedback: > > the Apache Tomahawk Faces Extensions project > the Apache Appaloosa Faces Extensions project - short name: Apache loosa :-) > the Apache Mocassin(s) Faces Extensions project > the Apache Lonewolf Faces Extensions project > the Apache Windeyes Faces Extensions project > the Apache Jewels Faces Extensions project > the Apache Crafts Faces Extensions project > the Apache Beads Faces Extensions project > the Apache Beadwork Faces Extensions project > the Apache Bijoux Faces Extensions project > the Apache WarPaint Faces Extensions project > the Apache Faces Extensions project > > general suggestions: > > putting the code-name before Apache, like: > > Bijoux - the Apache Faces Extensions project > > changing the order, letting Extensions out of the name, like: > > the Apache Faces Bijoux project > > regards, > > Martin > > On 6/6/05, Martin Marinschek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Incorporating the latest feedback: > > > > the Apache Tomahawk Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Appaloosa Faces Extensions project - short name: Apache loosa > > :-) > > the Apache Mocassin(s) Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Lonewolf Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Windeyes Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Jewels Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Crafts Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Beads Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Beadwork Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Bijoux Faces Extensions project > > the Apache Faces Extensions project > > > > general suggestions: > > > > putting the code-name before Apache, like: > > > > Bijoux - the Apache Faces Extensions project > > > > changing the order, letting Extensions out of the name, like: > > > > the Apache Faces Bijoux project > > > > regards, > > > > Martin > > > > On 6/6/05, Martin Marinschek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Incorporating the latest feedback: > > > > > > the Apache Tomahawk Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Appaloosa Faces Extensions project - short name: Apache loosa > > > :-) > > > the Apache Mocassin(s) Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Lonewolf Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Windeyes Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Jewels Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Crafts Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Beads Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Beadwork Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Bijou Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Bijoux Faces Extensions project > > > the Apache Faces Extensions project > > > > > > general suggestions: > > > > > > putting the code-name before Apache, like: > > > > > > Bijoux - the Apache Faces Extensions project > > > > > > changing the order, letting Extensions out of the name, like: > > > > > > the Apache Faces Bijoux project > > > > > > regards, > > > > > > Martin > > > > > >
