Gosh, people, it was supposed to be ironic :) Of course, I would not propose that name. > > > > It might takes years to have something solid enough to compete with big > > commercial names, but it is important, IMO, for Apache to have something > > to say even on this front by creating a community and attracting people > > and their ideas. > <snip> > > Also.

I don't, but this is just my personal opinion. It appears elegant from a strictly mathematical point of view but becomes impractical when put in production (I know this for experience) > If this project does well does this mean that the Apache project wouldn't accept > it because we would already have had an XML db project? No. I'm simply proposing the creation of a subproject to back up the creation of a native XML db solution because I think this is the way to go. But I'm *NOT* proposing to throw out other proposals since I might find myself wrong in the future (as I did several times in the past). Apache is committed to diversity and I couldn't change that even if I wanted. And I don't want that!
