Hi All,

While i believe, based on the proposal, it may the works may be a nice
addition to the portfolio of the ASF, I have concerns with the name.

Are we going to call this (if and when onboarded/graduated):

   - Apache DrElephant?
   - Apache Doctor Elephant?
   - Apache Dr-Elephant?
   - etc....

While it is understandable that existing parties want to retain the name of
where code and team originally came from, I believe the name of the
podling, its community and its works should not always hang to much to
references in the past. Joining the ASF as a podling offers an opportunity
to retain the best from the past (often the code and pre-joining
contributors) and have a do-over for remainder.

Best regards,


Best regards,

Pierre Smits

V.P. Apache Trafodion
