It looks like there is a service mark HMS Connex. That's probably not a problem. BUT: ConneX is a pure p2p collaboration platform based on JXTA technologie. Open source, and available for download from SourceForge. For me, that pretty much nixes use of the name. Let me recalculate the totals

Vote +1 to rename Apache Connectors Framework to Apache ManifoldCF. Vote -1 to keep the project name of Connectors Framework, or to retain Connex, if that wins its vote. This vote also expires end of day on Friday. Note: Manifold is a trademark for a GIS software product. However, I agree with

Jack, That's one of the main purposes of having everyone list choices by priority. If one doesn't work, there are others you can use. I don't want to open that vote again unless the community decides that the list of candidate names was simply not rich enough to furnish a good choice. Karl

Fair enough. I could live with any of the other choices, but having this CF suffix really messes a lot of stuff up and is less practical than any of the other names. Basically, it means we may end up having to use MCF as the shorthand name. Wait... stop the presses... I just realized that

You are correct about the rules. I added that name back in when we replaced the original vote for it with the name gathering exercise and then a vote, and I did not make it clear what I was doing. But then we still have to hold a vote on ManifoldCF, since that vote was aborted, and Grant did

Karl, you are the de facto naming czar. You get to take the community input and figure out how to interpret it so that it so that it reflects a general sense of the spirit of the community. So, now you get to rule on my objections to ManifoldCF! And the chips can fall where they may. --

Actually, an abbreviation of AMCF is not bad either kinda like that myself. But I'm still not sure I like any of the book title choices I've offered myself here. Do we dare use Manifold Connectors Framework in Action? and describe AMCF as Manifold Connectors Framework at times? Karl On

That is roughly the usage I would expect. As far as a book title, tough call. There is the length issue. If somebody already knows of ManifoldCF, Apache ManifoldCF in Action makes sense, but Apache Manifold Connectors Framework in Action is a bit more descriptive. Bottom line, a name with
