Sorry for interrupting... But I really wonder what this word has to do with gambling? From http://www.google.com/search?q=xindice:
It doesn't have anything to do with it, but someone broke it down as X-in-dice and proposed a logo with an X in between two dice. It was pointed out then, that dice has a gambling connotation and that people don'
t usually like to gamble with their data. Prior to that no one had noticed this and that is why I don't really think it is an issue as long as we don'
t use that logo (we're not).
The genesis of the word is in the Italian and Spanish word for index which is indice. In english the plural form of index is indices as well. Since indices are a big part of a database, I thought it kinda made sense. The X was added for the XML connotation and to make the word completely unique.
Just lurking over here,
