For me, Answer is a problematic name. We're trying to move away from relying on the Apache brand name so project names ideally should work with or without the Apache name. Answer does not work as a brand on its own, it depends on being Apache Answer to make it seem like a brand. I'm not saying that we should stop calling our projects Apache XYZ yet but I just think the XYZ needs to work as a standalone project name too. Even something like 'Answer Platform' and 'Apache Answer Platform' might make the name more specific. Imagine trying to search online for 'Answer'. There are more than 14 billion matches on Google.
