I will try to ping PRC again this week. They where probably having some
rest after a few weeks of crazy work due to the 10 years announcement...
However, I have just a crazy idea : why about concatenating both
existing name : ki-security ? We could then keep the JIRA, mailing list
and such, people who used JSecurity would not be too much lost, the same
for those using Ki right now, and we probably be safe from the name
collision POV.
Otherwise, I agree with Les that we should solve this problem asap.
Btw, the april report is due by april, 8th...
Thanks !

I'm bumping this due to a thread on the user list and would like
clarification. It seems as if we've had a decent amount of time to allow
for feedback on the new name, but we haven't received any.
Can we put this name issue behind us and move forward? I think we're
perfectly fine given that most references are to "Apache Ki" and there are
no C&D communications from anyone - let's face it, you're never going to be
free and clear from *potential* naming issues unless you have a project name
that is completely random does not make any sense at all. Given that our
domain is totally different from the one single potential issue, and that
there is no Trademark or Patent under that name, and no one from Legal or
PRC has said anything to indicate we should rename (again), I really don't
think this is an issue. I can also file for the Trademark if it makes our
mentors feel better.
I'm of the opinion that we need to move forward asap - this is really
hurting the project's momentum, and it looks bad bad in the community - I'm
sure our existing users feel like they're in 'limbo' because they don't have
a definitive answer. I hate to think of the repercussions this would have
on the project community if it lasts much longer.

Ok,
I just discussed with Bill Rowe (one of the board member) about the name
issue. Here is his thought about it :
- jsecurity, cool name, but might not worth fighting against Juniper
- Ki, he would like to get a copy of the C&D letter forwarded to PRC,
where the trademark matters are being discussed.
So basically, let's first post this letter to PRC (if not already done),
and start discuss this there.
Running this by Public Relations?!?!?! How odd.
Yes, I know, but this is what I have been told by Bill Rowen Sander Striker
and Sally... Maybe because Larry Rosen is on this list, and because names is
a PRC issue somehow.
