After some name picking with Alan today (we tested many names on IM,
playing with the idea of secure, api, apache, stuff like that), we
checked names like asapi (M$ owned), secapi (CA owned), Giuseppe,
apasapi, JSAPI (but it's already Java Speach API), we arrived to
something cool :
Satrap.
It's a common name, so we won't be sued for using it, it means
"protector of a province" from the ancient greek xšaθra ("realm" or
"province") and pāvā ("protector"). Realm Protector, isn't that
cool ?
Some more here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satrap
And the coolest : it's short, and easy to remember...
Lot's of good discussion. I think we should call up a vote on this
sometime next week.
Regards,
Alan
