Come on dude, I don't think this is an instance of bike shed analogy: you tought me that remember.  I'm not just talking about something to be heard: just so others hear me talking.  I'm pretty passionate about these points and so are others.  My goal is to put a halt to any damaging affects the disscussion may have on those in this project and others interested in joining it.  We settled this issue before I don't want people to think they come to this project to debate over names.  Next they'll think we're going to tell them what identifiers to use in their code.

Actually I'm at work right now without the time to write about these matters.  Let's go ahead with points #1 and #2 which are right on the money and continue voting.  If you don't want to vote I understand - I always understand.

While voting though keep in mind that we don't gain anything from changing names. In fact it only means more package name chages and documentation changes.  Also there are UML diagrams that needed to be regenerated and I'm sure more that I am not thinking of right now.  These are hard points rather than the soft points I mentioned in my earlier email.  

Plus let's not forget about Vincent's point concerning ugly long package names. I can't stand that myself.

If you're referring to points #1 and #2 I'm fine with that.  If we start changing the names of things that's not fine by me personally at this stage of the game: that just means more work without any gain.  

I asked for a vote to stop having this discussion over and over again.  Let's just tally up the votes and lay this to rest.  I would rather be working with you and the James people discussing the way we integrate Eve into James.  

This trail is wasted energy if any one of us needs to tap anything more than an [X] on a box. What do you say. Let's just keep it simple :)

[ ] lay the naming issue to rest for now until two or more years
[ ] take yet another vote to change names and site navigation accordingly
