Agreed, plus I'm not too keen to see a Java tie-in with the name, given the current scope of the sub-project. We have other programming models even in the starter set. On 8/9/05, Frank W.

Re: WebXxxx Naming Was: Web Components/Common project
For what it's worth, I actually like Silk a great deal... in fact, I'd go ahead and give it my non-binding +1... I was the one that put the idea on the Wiki of a more codeword-ish name, and I think Silk is perfect. Frank Noel J. Bergman wrote: How about Apache Spider Web?

Hey, How about Apache Spider Web? ;) Sorts of like it traps things, double-entendre on the meaning of web, etc.. Just thought I'd throw it out there ;) Yoav --- "Noel J.

(I'm not sure how appropriate 'web libs' would be though, since I'm not sure I'd refer to, say, a compression filter as a 'library'.) Web Tools can be a problem too, as it conflicts with the Eclipse Web Tools Platform. -- Felipe - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

WebXxxx Naming Was: Web Components/Common project
Prior to calling a vote tomorrow, am I missing any potential names. This is all I dredged out of the previous mail thread. 'webapp' was mentioned instead of 'web'; but didn't seem to get any traction. web bricks web components web parts (NOTE-1) web commons (NOTE-2) All would be describable (assuming no clashes) as: Apache Jakarta Web Components Apache Web Components There's the option of doing W*4J or something, but we can discuss that later I think as it's just an altered presentation of the chosen name. NOTE-1 == Web parts would clash with javawebparts.sf.net name-wise and while the owner of this loose trademark is interested in being involved, we wouldn't really know until the code was looked at etc. Also Web parts appears to be a Microsoft term (google for it); which will definitely cause problems if our definition of Web Parts is different to theirs. NOTE-2 == Despite the suitability of this name, we are hesitant to duplicate the Commons brand and confuse the user.
