[news.eclipse.technology.eilf] Re: Re-Think the Name of our Project

Hi all,

reading some of the postings in this project name discussion, I realized, that we should also define some important criteria for the new name. This criteria should also be sorted to their importance/priority.

Here are some that come to my mind:
The name could be:
* unique - therefore easy to find by searching only with its name
* (nonexistent) acronym
* backronym - add a new meaning to a well known word by creating a acronym of it (e.g. "FILE")
* arbitrary name of a person (e.g. "SMILLA"), an animal (e.g. "ANT","SWORDFISH") or a thing (e.g. "WINDOWS")
* misspelled well known name and than interpreted as an acronym (e.g. "MILC")


Best regards
Igor
