Oh no! Not that discussion again... :-( Ron, you might not be aware of former discussions on this list - not your fault of course.
Yes, there are many ASF projects which have names related to Native Americans, BUT there are also many people concerned that those names could be offensive to Native Americans. And MyFaces is - of course - not the only ASF project where such discussions took place: see [1] to get an idea about such discussions in the Geronimo community. BTW, did you know they once had "Tomahawk" in their list of suggest alternatives? ;-) Don't get me wrong, my personal opinion is +/-0 for names related to Native Americans Just wanted to sensitize. --Manfred [1] http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxSBOX/why-apache-geronimo.html On 10/30/07, Ron Smits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How about Tsalagi? that is the name of the cherokee language > > > On 10/30/07, Mario Ivankovits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi! > > > How about a new "ASF style" name instead of basic, commons or > > > something else that could be more easily misconstrued? > > > > > Could you give an "ASF style" name for example? > > > > --- > > Mario > > > > > > > > -- > I reject your reality and substitute my own > --- Adam Savage, the mythbusters -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
