I have the same opinion but I'm staying out of it because I don't see myself participating much in that project. So whatever the real developers want to name it, is fine. But... I will suggest alternative names. :) How about "Xindy"? Pronounced like "Cindy", of course. I think it's cool to give a project a female name and it sort of suggests "XML index" when I look at it. And in the area of names, a lot of Chinese names start with an 'X'. For example, I once had a Chinese student with a cool name: "Xintian". I had to have her pronounce it for me the first time I saw it written but I think I remember it sounding something like "sin-tea-in" or perhaps "shin-tea-in". (Any Chinese or Chinese speaking developers out there that can correct me?) I'm only suggesting these if you want to stick with something with an 'X' for XML. But there's nothing that says it *has* to have a token 'X' in the name... -- Andy Clark * IBM, TRL - Japan * andyc@apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: webmaster@xml.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@xml.apache.org
