That sounds good, and it is great to finally see the project naming move
towards a final form that can stand up to even the most rigorous challenge.
Long live ManifoldCF!
That said, we may still choose to informally refer to MCF or mcf, although
we should of course promote the proper name, either as ManifoldCF or Apache
ManifoldCF (or Apache Manifold Connectors Framework?), as often and widely
as possible.
Did we ever settle whether that long-form name with CF expanded was okay for
descriptive purposes even if the official Apache project name is "Apache
ManifoldCF"?

On reflection, I've actually decided to just use manifoldcf
everywhere, just because that's least likely to run into problems in
the long run.

I think using mcf in the package name and the names of the webapps
will likely be fine. I'm less worried about everything else. Grant,
any comments?

I'm okay with all of that, but with a question whether we can get away
with
using an abbreviation in "org.apache.mcf" as opposed to
"org.apache.manifoldcf". And then, whether the graduated project would
be at
"http://mcf.apache.org"; or "http://manifoldcf.apache.org";. I have no
idea
whether there might be pushback higher up on that, but my inclination is
to
go ahead with using mcf. I'll defer to Karl as to whether he wants to
verify
our assumption through/with Grant/et al or just go ahead.

The vote passes. Barely. Total count +1. Although I believe we
didn't hear from lots of folks that made ManifoldCF their #1 choice
last time.
So, our new name is ManifoldCF. I'm thinking this will translate to:
org.apache.mcf
MCFException
MCF abbreviation
ManifoldCF full name
webapps mcf-crawler-ui, mcf-authority-service, mcf-api-service
... and I can begin to change the tree around probably by tomorrow
morning. Sound okay to everyone?
