BOJA also was/is software-related: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00143947
Again, not a deal-killer. One question that came to mind is whether we'd spend too much time explaining why we called the project BOJA. That got me thinking of it as an acronym as well. Or maybe a new project name should be an acronym. BOJA could mean "Bring On Javascript in Actionscript" or "Bend Over Javascript, it's ActionScript" (just kidding). And if using an acronym for ActionScript it really should be AS, so BOJAS instead of BOJA. AIMA is Apps In Mxml and Actionscript. AIMA has 713 hits on GitHub for Artificial Intelligence, a Modern Approach. AIMAS has 313 hits and none in JavaScript. AMAS has 466 hits. 68 in JavaScript. One is an "Application Server". AMAS has been used by a few companies. Other ideas? But again, we are running out of time... -Alex On 9/16/17, 10:54 PM, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com.INVALID> wrote: >To be clear, none of my findings are deal killers for the proposed name. > >BOJA is the stock symbol for Bojangles Inc.
