+ <s1 title="Why the name ?">
+
+ <p>
+ Here are some stories and reasons about the name :)
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ It's a cool name ... Short, easy to pronounce, same meanings in all
+ spoken languages, has some punch ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ There is a cool french song by Jacques Dutronc about Cactuses that
+ goes "le monde entier est un cactus ..." (the whole world is a
+ Cactus). The lyrics is available
+ <link href="http://miditext.com/Textes/24859.htm">here</link> and
+ the music (.wma format)
+ <link href="http://miditext.com/wma/24859.wma">here</link>. It is a
+ song that says that cactuses are everywhere and that everything is
+ a cactus. I like that ! :) ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The J2EEUnit name (which was the previous name of Cactus) was fine
+ but there was a Sun trademark on the J2EE part of the name ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Cactus is actually an acronym ... ha ha .. for Computer Assisted
+ Construction of Test Unit for the Server, or Cool and Comprehensive
+ Test Unit for the Server, or ... (please send your suggestions to
+ <link href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">me</link>) ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The company for which I work (<link href="http://www.octo.com">
+ OCTO Technology</link>) had organized a diner to celebrate our 3
+ years of existence. I was looking for a new name for J2EEUnit. I
+ asked some workmates of mine to help me look for a name. We tried to
+ find a name which had something to do with the Apache name. We though
+ of indians of course ... we tried several names and then Dominique
+ said "Cactus" (you know, indians, the desert, cactuses. That's one
+ cliché of indians we have here in France !). I immediatly liked
+ it ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The Cactus name has a rich visual iconography associated with it. So
+ it should be possible to find a nice and funny logo (I'm still
+ looking for the perfect logo ... Again if you have ideas, you can
+ send them to
+ <link href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">me</link>) ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A Cactus is full of spines. Visually you can imagine that a piece of
+ code that has gone through this rigourous and comprehensive testing
+ has had all it's bug revealed ! ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ We can imagine a motto like "Tested on Apache-Cactus" !
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any more ... ?
+ </li>
