I'd like to vote to officially rename the project to Apache CXF.
I'm extremely +1.
There are a lot reasons to do so: (summary of previous discussions)
1) All of our Apache resources are "CXF". If someone goes to
apache to
looking for CeltiXfire using the "normal Apache" URL's and such,
they won't
find it. Example: if they send a note to celtixfire-dev-subsribe,
it would
bounce, etc...
2) Branding - It seems like all of us are calling it CXF in our
communication. However, the "Apache Branding" would require it to
use the
full project name. It would be good if it matched to avoid
confusion for
users. (Example: in a note on the incubator list during the recent
issues, someone asked why we were calling it CXF.) Anyway, a lot
of people
are already associating CXF with the project. Let's build on that.
3) Our package name, jars, install dir, etc.. all use "cxf" right
now. No
work would need to be done there. (I'm lazy, I admit it.)
4) No wacky CamelCase spellings to cause confusions and branding
issues.
(Celtixfire, CeltiXfire, CeltiXFire, etc..)
5) Already I18N capable. :-) Seriously, we had some chats on IRC
about "how to pronounce" some of the other ideas. Example:
Apparently the
word "foam" is hard to pronounce in some locales. Also, "Celtic" is
pronounced different in various locales as well.
6) Break some ties with the "messes" that we've been involved in.
I keep
hearing nicknames like "celtic-miss-fire" and such. That's not
good. The
recent events certainly didn't help things. A semi-clean slate is
probably
a good idea. Make them think of new nicknames. :-)
7) However, by keeping the initials, there is "some" tie to the
previous
projects, but the tie is broken enough to make it clear, this
really is
something new and better.
8) The top two google links for CXF are already our own confluence
space.
Nice job everyone. :-) CXF is an acronym for "Chemical
eXchange Format",
but that really shouldn't matter for us.
Thanks!
