As a project name "Jena" has been in use for the project for about 13 years now. 1.0 was 9 Jan 2001. A mere 983K (zipped).

The discussion is about Hyena for Hoya.

I think it's too close to http://jena.apache.org/


to be clear, this is a strong -1 from me, having confusing project
names inside Apache is not ok. Hyena and Jena sound exactly the same
in several languages, unfortunately.


The "j-e-n" in "Jena" is like "Jen-kins" or "Gen-er-al".

It is derived from "Jennifer"

which is often, but not here, with "nn":
