Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by YoavShapira: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/CreatingCommonsForWebComponents The comment on the change is: Genesis of Silk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Bloc - "The Web Bloc" * What about something less definite and more "code word"? What about not having the word "web"? "Arctic" or "Telsa" or something completely meaningless but catchier than "Web .*$" * Apache Silk (silk is what webs are made from) + + ---- /!\ '''Edit conflict - other version:''' ---- * Since this is looking like the likely choice in our currently ongoing vote, I'd like to fill in a bit of history for the name. We get asked all the time where Tomcat, Struts, and other project names came from. I suggested "Apache Spider Web" for this project because I thought the other names were too normal, too corporate, and a bit boring. Henri thought Spider Web was a bit ominous and had negative connotations, but that idea inspired his Silk suggestion, which everyone (including me) loves. There, now we actually have a documented history for how a project got its name before the project is popular ;) This will probably need to be settled on the list.
