Re: finding a new name that isn't PhoneGap
BUMP!
http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/47468793/namechange
This is rather important folks, and silence is considered assent in
Apache land, but given the activity we saw in Jira I think ppl do have
strong feelings here. The name is foundational important to work going
forward so we need to resolve this!

But Charon brought dead people to the other side... in Phonegaps case
who are the dead people and what actually is the other side? ;-)

If we go for mythology suggestions I would like to throw "Charon" into
the hat. It was the ferrymen in greek mythology - (similar to the bridge).

Actually the umlat was a joke. To me an umlat conjures up images of
1970's and 80's hair metal bands so I'd say leave it out. Apache
Heimdall sounds good to me too.

Was looking at those too a few days ago... You need to consider ease of spelling for people and easy searchability, so the umlat is cute, but hard to type for most people I expect :)
But otherwise, +1 on the idea. That's exactly the type of name we need.

I am a huge fan of norther mythology and therefore love this suggestion.
But one needs to consider that a trojan horse has been called Bifröst too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifrost_(trojan_horse)
Other spellings are Bilröst, Beberast and Ásbrú.
What comes to mind is the Ase Heimdall is protecting this bridge.
Probably Apache Heimdall would make another good one.

I'm not a huge fan of "Callback" but I could live with it and I
actually like "Cordova" better.
However, I would be remiss not to push my own suggestion one more
time. I'd go with Apache Bifröst (complete with umlat). The Bifröst is
a bridge in Norse mythos that connects Midgard (Earth) with Asgard
(realm of the gods). In our connotation it would connect the native
layer (Earth) with the web layer (realm of the gods).

For all cordoba fans you maybe should google for cordoba 1978 ;).
In general I would avoid a place name for use as a brand, since it is

In that light, cordova seems like the best name to me. Googling it, I saw
the github repo of Brian's as the first hit on the second page of hits; but
that's just me and my browser. Also, there's this (luckily, different

I know the name "WebKeg" was tossed around, but was that a joke? On one
hand, it implies "lots of beer" to me, which is perhaps not a great
association. On the other hand, I'm reminded of the Big Keg o' Health from
Unreal Tournament (some version before most of you were born, prolly). I
could see a barrel busting out with awesome as a neat "logo" image. I like
"web" in the name, compared to "device", since this project is more about
exploiting web technologies rather than just devices - there are the
"desktop" versions of the runtime to consider as well.

I personally like more generic and unique names that aren't tied to a particular technology at all (i.e., Tomcat). Not only does technology move fast, but it's also better from a Web search point of view. The brand will build on it by itself as we deliver a great solution (look at "Amazon" starting as a book store and evolving to what it is now).
I am thinking ancient names that are related to "gap". For example, Icarus, Babel, Styx, Bia... There are also names associated to fragmentation, or entropy.

When I read your messages and saw the name "Yaya" I immediately

second part of this name has probably changed a bit since 1850, it it
is not a good choice :-) Anyway, a Whale as mascot would be cool.
