[news.eclipse.technology.ecomm] Re: Greetings and request for participation

Hi Ed,

Sounds interesting, but I have a question and a suggestion. The question is,
(how) does this relate to the Koi project?

I expect and hope that some of the KOI work will carry forward into this project. Since the underlying communications approach is different (based upon synch xml rpc for koi, and asynch pub/sub messaging for this project) there are likely some major differences in the communications abstractions, however.


I and the others are definately aware of and appreciative of the KOI work. Hopefully some of the people that were working on KOI will participate with this project. KOI has not been moving forward much recently, however, so when I proposed this project it was suggested to me that the proposal be separate rather than as a continuation of KOI.

The suggestion is, I think it
would be a good idea to find a different id for the project that won't be
confused with "ecommerce".

Good point.


I don't know of any specific plans for an Eclipse ecommerce project but I could easily imagine one in the future. When I first saw eclipse.technology.ecomm, ecommerce was my first thought. So I think something like "com", "comm", or "communic" would be better. I don't suggest "ecp" because it is too close to "ercp" and "rcp".

OK, we will give some consideration to something other than ecomm. If you have any other ideas us know. I don't think 'com' would work at all, maybe 'comm' or a short fanciful name that has something to do with communications...like 'wilco'.


In any event, thanks for the suggestions. It's difficult, as you can easily imagine, to come up with something that's just a few letters long, doesn't cause a name collision with something else, and has some connection to eclipse and communications.

Thanks,

Scott


Good luck, --Ed
