Les,
You mentioned that "Ki" means fortress in Japanese. Do you have any
links that talk about this? I'd like to be more well-versed in some
of the various meanings/reasons behind calling it that. Obviously, as
time goes on hopefully we'll just build the branding up so that it
doesn't matter, but I think having some meaning behind a name is nice
to explain the name change to people now.

Yeah - I definitely like the shortness for the official name, jar
files (ki.jar), abbreviations, packages, etc.
I'm referring more to branding, saying it out loud, etc. I think
saying Ki Security is nice because people instantly understand it's
a security library. BTW - are we allowed to call it Apache Ki while
it's still in incubation? Or would it be better to call it "Ki
Security" until it graduates?

Given that most people will never have heard of Ki or associate
the term "Ki" with security at first, does it make more sense to
call it "Ki Security" or something that immediately alerts users
to the purpose of the project? This could either be the official
name or a secondary name that we commonly use to communicate the
project's purpose.
The official name will be Apache Ki, it can be extended and
advertized as Apache Ki Security, aka AKS.
