No, I wanted to use a single "umbrella" name derived from the organization
and just deliver the subsets of function with more specific technical names
or provide the option to download specific pieces, whatever makes sense.
What I was suggesting was that people looking for code are going to
recognize the name Liberty but will not in general recognize WSF or IGF. And
I'm suggesting that every project will now have to repeat the same difficult
argument, and I was just trying to avoid that.
Otherwise, I would argue that it's better to just pick a consistent
convention and use OpenWSF, OpenIGF, etc. As I said earlier, I strongly
disagree with you about the word Open.
But since I guess people want to leave it to each project, all I can say is
have fun. At least Sampo's code has a name already. ;-)
