Then you needed "1.3" and "2" (or "2.0" for clarity.) It's not my preference, but at least be consistent :) >I'll remove "HTTPD 2" for now and if we want to add it back in >later, we can.

Pier recommended >"Apache," and I don't like that as it isn't specific enough. And, >I think if we put just "httpd," no one would know what it was. Isn't "Apache" implicit? I suspect "HTTP Server" is the easiest entry (or HTTP 1.3 Server/HTTP 2.0 Server). httpd implies you are running on a unix-derivate, Win32 or Netware users might be somewhat lost. otoh, HTTP Server could be misinterpreted as the standalone Jakarta which would not be pretty. Perhaps Pier was right, Apache itself says a ton. If we populate a component list under Apache that tells the rest of the story, nobody would be confused. What about core, the whole list worth of modules, apr and apr-util, pcre and xml as Bugzilla "Components"? Making apr and apr-util as components will allow other apache-projects to list those same components, and you can query these cross-project. Jakarta is already using these in some connectors. Of course, the apr component of APR solves this headache for folks simply using the library.
