Django-values has had a long and rocky road thus far, with its name
not being the least of its problems. I finally put it to the masses in
a recent blog post, and I got back the simplest word I'm amazed I
didn't think of: policy. Organizations are very familiar with the idea
of policies and procedures, and I think this encapsulates that fairly
well. Procedures are what would be done in various situations (Python
code), while policies are the rules that define when and how those
procedures should be carried out.

In short, I vote that it be changed to django-policy. I can't change
the URL in Google Code without starting a whole new project (and since
I already have issues in place, I'd rather not do that), but I can
change all the documentation and add a note explaining the
discrepancy.

For the most part, I just wanted to put that to the general population
here to see if policy would be a useful enough name to use for this
app. Unless there are other objections, I figure the rest of the names
can remain the same, using policy.Options and policy.*Value for the
API.

I don't have a new version of it checked in yet, but I've been doing a
lot of work on it, and it should be very near completion later this
week. This next update will also include documentation, which is
another reason I'd like to make sure the name will stick before I go
too far with all of it.

Thoughts?
