Subject: [RFC] draft stdcxx resolution for the Board
I'm working on the Board resolution based on the following page:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#tlp-resolution
and I have a few issues I need help with. I'm hoping that our
mentors can give us guidance here, although I certainly encourage
everyone else, most of all committers, to read through this and
provide feedback.
1. Official project name: Apache C++ Standard Library
I have always assumed that the official name of our project is
the Apache C++ Standard Library, and that STDCXX is an "acronym"
or "keyword" (e.g., the same way APR is to the Apache Portable
Runtime Project). I'm not 100% sure that everyone shares the
same view so I'm looking for a confirmation that "Apache C++
Standard Library" is an acceptable name to use in the resolution.
(The attached proposed resolution assumes the answer is
affirmative.)
I agree with the canonical name. As for the acronym, I'd like to
propose "ASL".
Not ASCXXL? ;-)
I'm not sure if we can easily change this or even that we should
try. What would happen to Jira or mailing lists? I suppose lists
could have aliases, but it might be additional work for the infra
team.
But if you're serious about it go ahead and make a formal proposal
to change it. Far be if for me to discourage you but I expect you
will need to have a really compelling rationale to convince
everyone, especially the rest of the Incubator, that it's a good
idea.
