In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: X-Spam-Rating: minotaur.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N Hi Jim, I'd like to encourage you to avoid picking anything that is already a proper name, in other words an existing name which is normally capitalised in western languages. Using names which are already associated with people, places, events or cultures is never likely to be universally acceptable and on the whole is more likely to cause offence than to bring any lasting positive associations. For that reason I think that it is probably much easier if we avoid the issue altogether, and I know that choosing project names isn't easy but I'd ask you to add this consideration to the formula. d.
