Subject: [VOTE] Select a name to possibly replace Apache Connectors
Framework

Folks,

Grant feels we would have a better chance of graduating from
incubation without changes if we adopt a new name.  There will thus be
two votes.  First vote is designed to arrive at a name, and the second
vote will be on whether to use that highest-point name instead of
Apache Connectors Framework.

Because the list is quite long this time, please select your favorite
8 choices, in order of preference.  If you submit duplicate choices,
only the first of each duplicate will be counted, and the others will
receive zero points.  So it is in your interest to not select any
duplicates.  All of these choices have been already screened to
fulfill specific criteria, such as avoidance of trademarks or heavily
used words.

The list of candidates is:

Ayvitraya
Conex
Connex
Connie
Connx
Contango
Conton
Contor
Contour
Conx
Heterolink
Heterosource
Heteroweb
Manicon
ManifoldCF
Manifolio
Manilink
Maniplex
Manisource
Maniweb
Multicon
Multiconnect
Multiconnex
Ralph
Reconto
RepoMan
Repositor
Recon
Reconex
Reconn
Reconnex
Reconnx
Reconx

Let the voting begin!

RE: Soliciting more potential names for the project formerly known as LCF

2010-09-22 Thread George Aroush
I have been watching this project from the side line...

Can I nominate Ayvitraya?  From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_universe_in_Avatar#The_Tree_of_Souls

Ayvitraya Ramunong in Na'vi is a tree where the Na'vi are able to
communicate with the biological network that exists.

 We're going to have another round of name selection, based on feedback
 from the board.  We've also pretty much decided that the last round
 did not have sufficient breadth, so here's an open solicitation call
 for potential names for the next round.

 So hold on to your hats, and throw your suggestions into the ring.

 One word of caution.  Before offering a name, please do your best to
 make sure it meets the following criteria:

 (1) It's a single word
 (2) It's not a very commonly-used word, or a well-known place; ideally
 it's not a word you would find in the OED
 (3) It does not have negative connotations
 (4) A quick google with it in the context of open source shows
nothing
 (5) No more than 4 syllables

 Here's what we've got so far for this round:


 Congo
 Connie
 Heterolink
 Heterosource
 Heteroweb
 Manicon
 Manifolio
 Manilink
 Maniplex
 Manisource
 Maniweb
 Multicon
 Ralph
 Reconto
 RepoMan
 Repositor
 Reptile

 Some of these don't fulfill the criteria above (e.g. Congo and
 Reptile), and may be stricken from the voting list as a result.  But
 feel free to riff at will... ;-)
