"Jakarta Rocks Betwixt" (ignoring that the ones for JLC have boring names)
Do we really need 3 catchy terms?
From my point of view, the part that fancy names misses is that these are
not subprojects, they are just component groupings to make email and the
website easier to grasp.
This does put an onus on the website to make it easy to find the component
you used to know was in Commons, ie) a simple component index etc.

Hola,
Both Rocks and Syllables are a great suggestion ;)
I disagee that a 1-word name implies TLP: just look at our current
projects for many counter-examples. Most things under WS are 1-word
where the TLP itself is two words, and WS is not a unique TLP in that
respect. The inverse is also true, where we have numerous "technical"
or "non-marketing-oriented" TLP names, like HTTP Server, DB,
Directory, Logging, Web Services...
There's a decent body of scholarly work that shows users (customers)
identify more with 1-word "catchy" product (project) names. I think
now's a decent chance to pick names like these, becuase it will
increase the likelihood of new users and developers joining the
community, maybe even reviving some of the dead-er projects.
Moreover, as we've seen already, it's hard to make precise definitions
of what's a "web" components versus just an "http" component, what's a
"lang" component, etc, so the meaning of Jakarta Web Components is not
crystal clear anyways. And if it's not clear to us discussing it
here, you can be sure it's not clear to users who are not as savvy or
familiar with the components.
I guess the real background to this is that I'm hoping we're not just
shuffling for the sake of shuffling. I'm trying to create some more
incentives, however small (after all, the world runs on micromotives,
according to some: http://www.cscs.umich.edu/abc/abc_ken/sld018.htm),
for both existing and new people to involve themselves in these
projects...
All that said, I'm not -1 on a techie term like Jakarta Web Components
-- if a lot of people want it, so be it. I'm a clear -0, very
different from -1 ;)
