Andrew Lunny commented on CB-11:
--------------------------------
Full disclosure: I suggested the name Callback, and I would like a blue
bikeshed.
Google-juice is a non-issue - things are difficult to search for until they're
not. See Node, Prototype, ".net", etc etc. In the short-mid term, the vast
majority of resources (books, documentation, blog posts, Stack Overflow
discussion) will be under the name PhoneGap, until the new name gets enough
traction.
A more legitimate concern, to my mind, is that "Callback" could be a confusing
name in prose documentation, as in
"once the Callback deviceready event has fired call the Callback Camera API,
passing it a success callback and an error callback."
You can get away with an acronym when for written prose - "call the CB.Camera
API..." - but that doesn't work for spoken prose.
To avoid this confusion, I propose the new name "CallBackTheLibrary" :)

> During the transition of the PhoneGap project to Apache, the project was

> seems that "Callback" isn't a great name either - it's a commonly used term,

> Got something better?
