Bjorn et al.,

I was thinking more about the branding of this new component, and since I've
been having a similar conversation with my GSoC student, Michael Robb, about
his work to create wizards for generating project meta (eg., examples
feature/plugin stub, tests feature/plugin stub, SDK feature stub, and
.releng project) [1], it seems like his work ought to live in Dash too,
rather than in o.e.soc as this is entirely complementary to the work
involved in a common builder.

We had discussed calling his component Athena [2] in reference to her
creation story (and the idea of projects "springing forth, fully formed"),
but hadn't fully decided on "athena" vs. "metagen".

I like the name and its evocative branding, so I'd like to put it to the
larger Dash committer community.

Should "metagen", currently a GSoC project [1], and the new "commonbuilder"
be united under the org.eclipse.dash.athena or org.eclipse.athena namespace?

(Michael, this would mean moving your code from the SOC cvs repo to Dash
one, and using o.e.(dash.)athena.metagen.* for your code. We'd also have to
vote you in as a committer, but that's trivial.)

Thoughts?
