As this needs to be clearly resolved before we exit the Incubator, I believe that we have 2 questions that we need to vote on formally:
1. Will JSecurity be renamed? 2. If so, what will that new name be? Should we start a vote for #1, and depending on its outcome, then have a vote for #2? I surface #1 because I don't think we as a team reached a clear consensus as to whether or not we must do that. I'd like to just formalize that intent in a vote just to make it absolutely clear. The only feedback we got from Legal about retaining the JSecurity name was from Henri Yandell: "Given that it's a name you've been using for 4 years, and it's very generic [jXxx being a common pattern in our space and Security being very generic]; I'm inclined to keep the current name; though by the same reasoning, it's a weak name as "Apache JSecurity" isn't very good branding." indicating that Legal apparently doesn't perceive a naming conflict (no one else made any comments in over 2 weeks). If that is the case, it appears the decision is left to the project team, which seems like a vote would be in order. Please note that I have no ulterior motive in kicking this thread off - I've become quite accustomed to one or two of the other proposed names and have no problems using them if the team decides that is the appropriate course of action. I'm just trying to resolve both of these two questions definitively before next month's board report, which is coming up very soon. What should we do next? - Les
