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.
