To follow up with that, my ideal name would:
a) Mean something intuitively in English (something that implies lock-
solid, secure, impenetrable, etc.)
b) Be easy to spell, even if you've just heard someone say the name
out loud
c) Not conflict with existing projects or trademarks
Too bad names like that are hard to come up with...

My problems with AplSec are:
a) Doesn't intuitively mean much (e.g. "Apple Sec? Is this something
for the iPhone or Macs?")
b) Hard to spell when you hear it out loud. (e.g. Most people would
probably type "apple sec" into google)
c) Sort of confusingly close to the name TripleSec, also an Apache
security project - is that bad or good?

Ok. I think I got it. Something that makes sense, kinda rolls off
the
tongue, has good alphabetical ordering, and allows a broad umbrella
of
functionality, and based off of english words that directly
correspond to
our feature set:
Apache Aplsec
Prounounced like "Apple Sec", similar to the pronunciation of the
liqueur,
Triplesec. APLlication SECurity.
Although Shiro seemed somewhat agreeable, it is kind of a
correlation leap
to come back to security - no easy tie-in or obvious recognition to
application security.
There are also NO results for a full US Trademark and Name Search
(all
fields, either live or dead records). No products or projects with
that
name that I can find.
Also, I guess one benefit of having a name without the 'J' at the
front is
that we can (if the project team so chooses) start to support other
languages, like ActionScript for Flash/Flex applications, or C# for
windows
apps, etc. Just a thought. It may never come in to play, but hey
- I'm
brainstorming...
Whaddya think?

This is a part of the incubation process :

How do we use this service? Does ASF have a login? It doesn't
appear to
be a free service, but I wouldn't know - it looks very convoluted
and not
copacetic to performing ad-hoc searches.
