Re: [VOTE] does mod_python want to be a TLP
Not necessarily wanting to see this discussion die again, how about just calling it the 'PythonScript' project. Name means it is still obvious and I can't see how we would have issues with a composite name like that as far as PSF trademark goes, but then could be wrong.

Another, less scientific, possibility might be pythonalia (python + miscellania). That reminds me of news broadcasts where they talk about police arresting people in possession of drug paraphernalia. :-) In a similar extension though, there is always the 'Apache Pythonistas' project. Where people have mentioned the feather, may be we can call it 'PigeonPy'. This is sort of having a slight dig at the 'CherryPy' symbolism if you get it. For a really obscure reference, try 'Pungi'. I'll let you all work out that one by yourself. Graham

How about naming it PyPache ? Ulf On Wed May 9 2007 05:56 pm Graham Dumpleton wrote: On 10/05/07, Gregory (Grisha) Trubetskoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1.

This is the more technical name for the family of snakes which people call Pythons. Not sure how you are meant to pronounce that though. Graham

Quetzalcoatl means feathered snake and does not appear to be used by any other software project.

Which I can fully understand, because Quetzalcoatl is harder to pronounce than the 16 character password for the mainframe that was generated using /dev/random. I admit I like the logic more than the name itself. I liked Asphyxia though. Makes a nice password too. To me, Asphyxia has *extremely* negative connotations, and really stretches the limits of clever association. Another name that comes to mind is Scales, playing on the Apache feather motif, but I fear it will be lost in search results among pages that discuss how well Apache scales.

Well, I didn't get enough responses, so this will have to wait until after folks figure out what to do next. Bad timing I guess. We'll have to try to get our act together in time for the March 21 board meeting. For your February report to the board, mod_python 3.3.1 is ready for release - just waiting for Grisha to make the public announcement. Other than that things are pretty quiet around here right now.

That is essentially a trademark infringement and I know the Perl community doesn't like the way we named Perl-Apache either. Java became Jakarta for the same reason. Roy
