IMO the reason this naming debate hasn't been settled is because of the way in which the change from Blaze to Glasgow was achieved: it was done privately and the result was announced here.
hmm...sounds like we should have some docs that suggest that the moment a group of people proposes a new project for incubation (if they don't already have an existing open project mailing list), they should use the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list as their pre-project discussion list. When any question about the proposal comes up, all proposed committers (10-20 of them) are encouraged to have their own discussion on our lists to work out what they'd like to do. Might even be better to say that the moment a few of them have an idea for the proposal, they should use our general list to discuss the proposal drafts before proposing it to us. ;-) I have no doubt that every committer of every proposal I've ever been involved has understood the importance of open discussions on apache lists once the project starts. However, I think most of them have hesitated to use apache lists for project-specific discussions before their proposal has even been accepted (other than to respond to concerns/questions from the incubator community).
We're *such* a whacky bunch.
