Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Time for a name change?

Oasis isn't bad.  Pity about the domain names not being available.  But of course we could be OpenACS.org, that distributes our old OpenACS 3.2.5 and our new Oasis 1.0, chuckling to ourselves about the connection.

In other words the organization and the product don't have to have the same name.  It would allow us to keep logo and URL intact.

I don't like "Oasis4" because tying a version number into the name doesn't make much sense IMO.  Also I think "Oasis 1.0" better describes the state of the toolkit technology (and our relationship to it) than "4.x".

More thoughts?  Can Oasis be an acronym? (Open Architecture ... that's as far as I get).  Doesn't need to be but clever acronyms are fun.

If nothing else, this is an entertaining thread...
