As a new comer in zope community (a few months), I appreciate this move as well. The new name can also be seen as a "excuse" for a stronger and more meaningful statement: There is value in zope3 web app part and we want to continue it's development regardless of the other projects. Having read and recommended to many people "philiKON" zope3 book I felt all the work put into building a coherent and stable web framework was going away. Philipp, please consider a "Web component Development with Bluebream" in the future :) P.S - As a ibm employee, there is already too much "blue" going on in my day to day work :) I would vote for "Bream" only.
