Huh. My vote post didn't make it either. The connectors-dev list must be holding my posts for moderation or something. So I'll post it in-thread as well, and hope that somebody fixes my email soon.
I know this is un-Apache-like, but please respond to the following list with a selection, in order, of the top three names for the project currently known as Apache Connectors Framework. The choices are: Apache Connectors Framework Apache Acromantula Apache Manifold Apache ManifoldCF Apache Multiplex Apache Lucon Apache Lukon Apache Yukon Apache Macon Apache Omni Apache Omnivore Apache CMCF (yes, I just invented that one ;-) ) Apache Multivore (yes, I just invented that one too. ;-) ) I don't think I missed any? If I did, chastise me severely please. ;-) Karl On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Karl Wright <daddy...@gmail.com> wrote: > I hope to call a vote tonight, but my posting about that never made it > through for some reason.
