Why? What's the issue with the name?
Partly it looks like general confusion over names :) I'd been told to go
check with the PR group on the name, but it seems that the real one is to
hassle Cliff to make sure it's not a legal problem.
Dims directed me to:
http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=tess&state=et2jfo.1.1
Looking there, 'silk web' gives 'SILK WEB SOFTWARE TESTING FROM SEGUE' as
a 'word mark'. I'm not sure if that matters though. ie) how close does it
have to be etc.
Ideas?
Ideas for a new name?
Nah, just ideas on how to get things moving. I'll nudge Cliff, and if
there's nothing legally bad, we'll charge in.
Current efforts in this area: archiving inactive Commons Sandbox
components. Creating Silk as a future for Taglibs and other subprojects.
By speaking of Silk, what's the status? I haven't seem any message here
@general (or at the wiki) about the project for weeks...
The name stuff above. Largely it's been been a casualty of my continued
education in how to make things happen at the ASF.
