module.xml

Folks,

I see us being listed as apache-forrest(-forrestbar) on Gump, and I 
wonder whether we don't confuse people about our heritage. Is it OK if I 
apply this?

It occurred to me that build.xml doesn't use the name from module.xml
anyway, so +1.  I just applied the patch.

Yes - but we belong to the 'federation' of xml.a.o projects. If you look 
at http://cvs.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/, forrest is somehow 
alienated from the rest of the pack.

+0

xml-forrest means to us, "The Apache XML Project's Forrest subproject".

But to newcomers, how obvious is that association?  I think most will see
the 'xml-' and expand the name to "Extensible Markup Language Forrest",
which doesn't make much sense.

Besides which, I think the official project name (in the credit logo) is
"Apache Forrest"..
