I've added your suggestion to the list we are voting on.

I'm on vacation and thus late with this, but if we want Connectors in the

and we want to unambiguate that, why not say what the Connectors are
connecting (to)? It's the Data(sources), no? If that's correct, Apache
Datasource Connectors may do.

Subject: Re: About name change
Huh. My vote post didn't make it either. The connectors-dev list must
be
holding my posts for moderation or something. So I'll post it in-thread
as
well, and hope that somebody fixes my email soon.
I know this is un-Apache-like, but please respond to the following list
with
a selection, in order, of the top three names for the project currently
known as Apache Connectors Framework. The choices
are:
Apache Connectors Framework
Apache Acromantula
Apache Manifold
Apache ManifoldCF
Apache Multiplex
Apache Lucon
Apache Lukon
Apache Yukon
Apache Macon
Apache Omni
Apache Omnivore
Apache CMCF (yes, I just invented that one ;-) )
Apache Multivore (yes, I just invented that one too. ;-) )
I don't think I missed any? If I did, chastise me severely please. ;-)

I hope to call a vote tonight, but my posting about that never made it
through for some reason. (I posted the same thing twice, too!).
Anyhow,
I'll include all of these in the list of candidates. It would be good
to
find out in advance if Apache Manifold is a possibility, though. That
would
be my first choice at the moment.

I, too like it. There's a problem though:

Other similar possibilities include Multiplex, or maybe we get
somewhere
by
using ManifoldCF? Or maybe Apache Manifold is different enough
from
Manifold System to be distinguishable?
I think ManifoldCF is distinct enough, I think, but we may need a
outside
ruling on that.
FWIW, Multiplex is also used, but it doesn't seem to be very
significant:
This makes me think of movie theaters...

Can we agree that something like ContentCF is a possibility
under
your
guidelines? (I'm not proposing that, I'm just trying to open
the
field
up a
bit.)
Karl
From my end, most of that was off topic haggling - I'm not saying
it
should be one way or other per seh. I personally see the benefit
of
having a good unique word in the name of the project - and of
trying
to
follow the guidelines / feel of previous projects. I'd be
perfectly
fine
with something like Apache Manifold Connector Framework. But push
come
to shove I wouldn't even vote against keeping things as is with
the
Apache Connector Framework.
