RE: [stp-dev] Last chance for Feedback: SOA Tree Proposal 
Hi Adrian,

Just my 2 cents:

1. "SOA Metamodel Framework" name is technically very close to project idea, but in my opinion word "meta-" could sound a little bit scarred for IT architectors.
   "SOA Modelling Framework" sounds better for me.
   Alternatively we can underscore non-runtime scope of project directly in the name: "SOA Tooling Framework".

2. Probably it makes sense to mention Swordfish as possible Eclipse SOA Runtime Framework in chapter "Out of scope".
   So the community have a feeling of completely integrated SOA solution in the near future.

cheers,
Andrei.

Hi Oisin,

Thanks a lot for the detailed comments, my replies inline:

good point, it's basically business as usual, although I suppose the relation to runtime and deployment will be stronger and the relation to monitoring is basically new. I will emphasize this in the proposal.

sounds good! Or Maybe "SOA Modelling Framework" instead?

yes, this sort of thing sounds really good now.

actually, naming is pretty important, so I'm happy to have all these discussions and suggestions about naming, and I'm hoping the playful little contest will yield good results (it's already very promising :) ).

sounds good. done.

great, thanks a lot for your suggestions Oisin!

cheers,
