Unfortunately this does not sound good in Polish. It means bottom, on
which you sit.

Pupa
Corona is the core of Cocoon without the shell. What is inside a
cocoon is called a pupa.
PUPA (always all capitals as an acronym) was the name of a software
project until 2002 when the project became GNU's Grub 2. Cocoon Pupa
is unlikely to be confused with an obsolete name for a pre-release
boot loader.
Checklist:
- Easily pronounceable in most languages. (Are there any modern
languages without the a P sound?)
- Negative cultural connotations? (The only American connotation
should not be negative for anybody over five years old.)
- Not currently used in software.

Dear community,
in the Cocoon whiteboard (a folder in our SVN repository where every
committer can put into any Cocoon related stuff without having to
ask) some
of us have started with a rewrite of Cocoon. This rewrite, which
has the
working title "Corona", has two main goals:
1. Become the best platform available for RESTful services and
RESTful web applications based on the concept of pipelines.
2. Provide a generic pipeline Java API with SAX
and STaX based default implementations.
Since we would like to make this work available to a broader
audience, we
want to start with a series of alpha releases. Unfortunately the name
"Corona" is already used together with software (Eclipse Corona).
This means
that we have to find some other name.
So far we came up with "Cocoon Silk" and "Cocoon Fibre". Both
names have
been rejected: Silk because Borland has some testing software and
"Fibre"
because in German it sounds very much like "Fieber" which
translates to
"fever". That isn't a good choice either.
As you can see, the name should be easily pronounceable for
people having
many different native languages, shouldn't have bad or irritating
connotations for people coming from different countries/culters
and mustn't
be in use together with software.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
