Name discussion again - sounds funny ;) We've had a hundred suggestions the last time we did a discussion like that, but they were all pointed at the "Apache"-name and were built on references to the American-Indian minority.
In a recent discussion on the incubator mailing list, it was pointed out that such references are not wanted - good to know ;) So what other suggestions are there for the naming of ADF-Faces? regards, Martin P.S. as I understood from this incubator discussion, it was said that the name "Apache" didn't actually refer to the American-Indian minority, on the Apache history main-page, it is pointed out that indeed the name refers to it. Is there anyone who can clear this up for me?
