--- Comment #6 from jsmith@resonatingmedia.com ---
I'm not strongly in favour of one name or another, but I do wonder if
shortening it so much is a good idea. I mean, let's assume a new user wants to
install the OpenBSD httpd software, but they do not know if it is in the ports
tree or what its name is. They go to freshports.org and start running searches.

In my opinion, it seems likely they are going to search for "httpd", "openbsd"
and maybe "openhttpd". Whatever name is decided on should probably be easy to
find based on the above search terms. Will "obhttpd" appear in the top five
search results for any of the above terms? Would "ohttpd"? I think that should
be a factor in the naming choice.

Sure, obhttpd is easy to type, but chances are a sysadmin will only type the
name three or four times during the entire life of the server. I believe the
port's name should be easy to find, perhaps more so than easy to type.
