Name options (was Re: ARI, Atom Reference Implementation [Proposal])
Ok, so here are a few of the name options that seem to be the safest (in
no particular order)
Iaea (adapted, of course, from the U.N. nuclear watchdog group)
Anu (Dims suggestion, sanskrit for "atom")
Atomico (Spanish/Italian for "atomic")
Dalton (Suggested by Robert B. Donkin)
Abdera (birthplace of the philosopher Demokritos)
I think any of these would work.

+1 to Abdera.
Atomic is my second choice of this list.
Iaea is very hard to pronounce.

Of these, I like the last one, Abdera.
(Anu is also a female first name, and - JAMES notwithstanding - I'm not that
fond of picking people's names for project names.)

Re: Name options (was Re: ARI, Atom Reference Implementation [Proposal])

The project will consist of three distinct components
a. An Atom parser/serializer. This is the Axiom-based code that is
available in the tar referenced by the proposal
b. An Atom Publishing Protocol Client... likely taking the form of a set
of utility/helper objects based on the Commons HttpClient
c. An Atom Publishing Protocol Server... likely taking the form of a set
of interfaces and utility objects intended to allow any application to
provide an "atom interface".
Ultimately, I would also like to see an "Atom store" developed. The
Atom store is a data persistent layer built around the Atom data model
and publishing protocol.

Hi James,
(Greetings; hope u r doing well :))
How far does this project intend to go in implemention Atom? Is it a
client side only, a tool to support Atom generation from some other app,
APP, etc. etc.?
(Sorry if this is an obvious answer question; I'm not an Atom expert at
all.)
Thanks,
Sanjiva.
