Apologies for extending this discussion further, but your comment boggles my mind. Have you checked out the Geronimo code with CVS and looked at how much work has been accomplished in the four months since the project began? Are you reading the CVS list? As someone else who is new to the "Apache way," I'm amazed so much has come together in so little time. It's a shame that all this energy is being expended on the issue of the name, but to my thinking that may be a good argument for dumping the name Geronimo and moving on. When any number of names would be suitable, why buy the grief? -- Rogers Cadenhead, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/22/2003 Weblog: http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench P.s. The committers are 15-to-1 in favor of keeping the name Geronimo, according to the STATUS file, so this may be resolved soon.
