Uhhh... So you intend to re-educate the 'masses' in two ways;
1. "NO, NO, NO, Felix is not an OSGi framework, it is a group of OSGi
projects... Apache Foo is an OSGi framework..."
2. "NO, NO, NO, Felix bundles works on other things than Felix, I mean the
Apache Foo..."
Or did I misunderstand something here?
That way is just plain stupid, and serves no purpose at all. Either keep
Felix what it represents to people (the framework) and rename/move/juggle
the other bits, or don't do anything.
Yes, you are right that for most non-Java software developers in the world,
Apache == web server, and I think this is a general problem...
Good Luck with whatever tack you guys choose on this.
As for Aries, I would like to see the scope arrive at ASF, and I would hope
now is the time to review the organization in this field.
+1 for Incubation, btw. I might sign up as Mentor, if I can squeeze in the
time...

I don't agree about renaming the [Felix] TLP. There are so many examples of
similar situations. I cannot believe we are truly in a unique situation
here:
* "Apache" typically means the HTTP Server project, but it also
refers to the foundation and all of its independent projects.
* "Eclipse" typically means the IDE, but there is also a runtime and
foundation with independent projects.
Acting like this isn't normal or something that is too confusing to ever
resolve seems a bit preposterous.

While I don't believe the situation is as confusing as is contended, I have
no issue with coming up with a different name for the Apache Felix Framework
(its name is technically Framework right now), so that the Apache Felix
project can continue to pursue its original charter.
