[OT] Naming of Forrest?
Just wondering about the Apache Forrest project NAME.
Forrest in the dictionary.com list 2 entries;
First;
<quote>
American Confederate general who was active at the battles of Shiloh (1862)
and Chickamauga (1863). He was a founder and the first leader (1866-1869) of
the Ku Klux Klan.
</quote>
Second;
<quote>
forrest, IL (village, FIPS 27026)
Location: 40.74998 N, 88.40994 W
Population (1990): 1124 (459 housing units)
Area: 1.3 sq km (land), 0.0 sq km (water)

Shouldn't the name be FOREST (=a lot of trees)???
And the terrible links both to Red Indian massacres and the KKK should be
avoided, shouldn't it?
Can someone who has links to this project, bring it up and possible correct
it?
Niclas
P.S. Wonderful project, although the docs are a bit out of sync!!!

Actually, the name forrest comes from yet a different source. The
original idea was to complement Gump (a system to automatically build
documentation), As a play of words the project to automatically build
documentation was called Forrest... Forrest and Gump

... or we could change the feathered forest in our logo into a singleton
tree stating "this is not a forrest"
or rename the project into "not a lot of trees"
naaaah - let's just display a link to http://us.imdb.com/Title?0109830

Do you need more clues yet Niclas?
This could become an FAQ.

As others pointed out, it is named after the "Forrest Gump" movie.
There's a catch though: since that movie's main character was named (by his mother) after the CSA General Nathan Bedford Forrest,
the correct answer is the first entry of the dictionary.
