Ok, so the record, we will continue to use WOCommunity for the name, and we will try to register the non-profit as "WOCommunity Association" or "WOCommunity.org". We just have to always use WOCommunity, not "WebObjects Community" to avoid potential trademark problems.
Other names people suggested: - WONDER Framework Community Association - Just "wonder". ie No "project" - WebJects - iWonder uWonder wiiWonder - whistler - Woturtle (because it's turtles/objects all the way down) - WebEOs, NEO (Network Enterprise Objects), Project NEO - Wonder Foundation (drop 'Project') - WebObjects 2.0 (trademark problems...) - wonder world > >> Hello everyone, >> >> At WOWODC, we discussed branding, and what came out of the discussion is >> that we should move away from the WebObjects "brand", for the following >> reasons: >> >> 1) When customers search for WebObjects on Google, they will probably find >> pages saying that it's deprecated (which is true) or other negatives lecture. >> >> 2) WebObjects have a reputation of being outdated.
