Re: JiniProposal -> BraintreeProposal

"Message Received"

Thanks for all the feedback, interest, passion,
suggestions, and comments on the new name
choice. I believe Braintree has some support,
but it *clearly* has it's vocal detractors as well.

We'd like to proceed with this name to call for
a vote in the Apache incubator project - so that
we can get started. We've been at this naming
thing for a while, and really need to move ahead
with Apache to see if the gist of the Proposal has
support to join the Apache Software Foundation
in incubation. [Note: if you're interested, the Proposal
was updated and is at:
<http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BraintreeProposal>]

If we're approved as a project, we can start a dialogue
(someone suggested a separate open mailing list to
hold the discussion - probably a good idea) on
potential new name choices.  If that effort results in a
name that has strong backing, I'd think we'd want to bring
it to the general Jini Community to garner support, but
it would also need to be championed by the project's
committers to get approved by the Apache incubator
Project Management Committee (PMC).

If that's not clear and you have questions, please
let me know. If you don't like this approach, I'd like
to hear about that as well.

thanks -Jim
