[server] ok got a great name recommendation

[Alex Karasulu <ao...@bellsouth.net>]

Hi all,

I was talking to Hani who does the Bile Blogg over here:

    http://www.jroller.com/page/fate

He's been looking at the server and the site with all the name changes.  
He made some good points about how confusing it was to use 'server' for 
the name and folder of the old Eve project.  So he made a recommendation 
which was kind of catchy.  I thought I'd run it by you guys to see if 
its worth changing, yes, yet again. 

He suggested ApacheDS. 

Basically this would be the name used for links, the email prefix and 
perhaps the project folder in subversion.  It will not be the package 
name which would still be o.a.ldap.server.

Like it? Hate it? It might be better to ApacheDS rather than ADS or 
Server which confuses people.  Plus you want to keep it short.  The 
horizontal navbar needs a short name.

Alex

Its mostly a joke though.  There's no reason to ge offended.  He does 
this to his friends most of the time.  Some people though are really 
targeted but he picks on those he likes the most.  He's not serious 
about his comments.  It's like reading the comics.  I do however 
understand how someone can be easily insulted.  You are entitled to your 
opinion.  And I will not mention it again.

However while on the topic :) I think its hillarious.  I can't wait 
until he rips into the Directory project.

Cool that's ~4-5 people that like it so I'll switch over for the last 
time.  I hope :).

That's exactly why I read it; for the creative profanity that is.  It's 
how I expand my English vocabulary to include such colorful words like 
turdburglar and poogem :-).  He just cracks me up to the point where my 
wife comes upstairs to my office and asks if I'm ok.  I would probably 
be sneared at by my wife if she knew about the filth that moved me to 
the point of breaking ribs. 

Cheers,
Alex

I really don't like that guy.  He has such a potty mouth, and he only
revels in his self proclaimed "everyone else is a loser and I am the
greatest" attitude.

I like ApacheDS.  It works.  I don't like ADS--its too close to Active
Directory Server and Attention Deficite Disorder.


P.S. Just a personal side note--If you took out all the profanity and
obscene comments from any Bile Blog entry you might only get one or
two sentences of meaningful commentary.  Yech.

I agree as well. It's the best alternative to eve up to now.

ApacheDS is better than ADS or Server.
