[news.eclipse.technology.ecp] More on the project name, and relationship to Rich Server Platform

I don't want to be the "naming police", but "ECP"? The C could be confused with Communication, Commerce, or whatever. And the P stands for Framework, that's a new one. "Component" can mean anything. No offense but ECP is a useless name that could describe dozens of different things.

IMHO what we need is something really simple, an incubator under Equinox to support the building of server applications using OSGi with a minimum of overhead and free from most legacy considerations. Wolfgang Gehner has coined the term "Rich Server Platform" for this (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=132897). What are the areas of overlap and non-overlap between the two ideas?
