Folks,
The ManifoldCF name possibility leads to some challenges as far as our
documentation is concerned. I thought that it might be a good idea
during the vote to explore those to see what people thought.
Here are some examples of how Apache Connectors Framework might get
used in text:
Apache
So, clearly, we need better names to work with, since the original
list has led to another impass.
Look at http://thesaurus.com/browse/multiple for some thesaurus
equivalents of multiple or manifold. Some interesting ones:
aggregate
conglomerate
legion
diversiform
multifold
The first two are
The exception naming issue is noted, but that's really a separate
problem. The IOException exception comes from the IO subsystem, and
it's the base exception of everything from an encoding exception
through a socket problem through a timeout. ACFException is a similar
base exception class,
I concur with having a base class for all ACF exceptions, and then the
specific exceptions extend that base.

My interpretation from the beginning is that there is a formal name
prefixed with Apache that would get used external to the project to refer
to the project, but then within the project we would just use the
shorthand name, whether that means simply dropping the Apache or
abbreviating the name

Butting in here. You can 'twist' the manifold word in other ways, e.g.
manifolio, or some such - full name The Apache Manifolio Connector
Framework, short name manifolio.

That's a perfect example of what I was trying to suggest and avoids the
usage problems. Although it has too many syllables for my taste, but that's
just me.

Multifold is a real word but is rarely used, which is why it seemed to
solve all the problems too.

If you are looking for non-existent words built out of parts that
nevertheless have meanings, try these:
manilink, manicon, maniweb, manisource
multicon, multiweb
heterolink, heteroweb, heterosource

It sounds like the vote is moot pending resolution of the doc/code usage
issue, but I'll go ahead and withdraw my vote at least temporarily pending
further evolution of the issue.
Are we going to reopen name suggestions? I few I had:
Congo [Con for connectors]
RepoMan [Repo for Repositories]
Jack has withdrawn his vote, and I withdraw mine as well.
We are going to open name nominations again, since we have apparently
all had ideas since the last round that may be to people's liking. A
new vote will be called to select among the new nominations, and the
winner of that will go up
That sounds fine with me. Assuming by ACF you mean the full name Apache
Connectors Framework with ACF as the local informal name, although in
practice maybe everybody would refer to it, even externally, as ACF as
well, as was with LCF.

We're going to have another round of name selection, based on feedback
from the board. We've also pretty much decided that the last round
did not have sufficient breadth, so here's an open solicitation call
for potential names for the next round.
So hold on to your hats, and throw your
