But we do need your help in choosing the name,
so, start thinking...
The guidelines are simple:
the name should not conflict with existing projects,
and we want a sea creature to build on the recognition for GlassFish.
Send us names to
theaquarium@sun.com
or post them as comments here.
When we have a good set of names we will ask the
community at large to vote.
And, you ask, why WombatFish?
Well,
Wombats are
interesting animals
but they also have some
history as jargon,
particularly this
and
this.
Locally, we have used Wombat in the past in several projects,
from as way back as
>JavaBeans
and
JSP
and many other
places.

have radial symmetry, they regenerate, they are highly redundant... Most of them are not very fast, but some are :-)

There is no ideal solution. The pre-JavaOne arrangement was a bit confusing and it was going to get more confusing with the addition of releases and products and components. We also had the opportunity of using OpenJava for the community name, and linking it to the SE side when the
"how" gets resolved. And we are planning major architectural changes for the post GF v2 release... Doing the name rearrangement now seemed best.
We need to flesh out the details, but we will all be very careful with the transition, and we don't want to do it again :-)

Will there be a time to be able to "do it again"?
Sorry to say this, but I can't believe that we are concentrating on the name change to this extent.
Can we not convince the people who are making us change the name to let go this one time?
