Well, all names tend to fall into one of several categories: 1. Names that are cool but don't mean anything. Examples: Stingray Tesla Orion Wolf-pack Testerosa 2. Names that are clear attempts to find first a cool acronym and then back-fill it with some contrived expansion. Examples: ICE - Installer Coded Encapsulation ENCORE - Encapsulated Net-Correct Ordered Registration Environment CHOMP - Centralized HOst Mandated Packaging 3. Names which are chosen deliberately to not mean anything to anyone. Examples: Potato GRONK Wackapacks 4. Names or acronyms that really shouldn't be used. Examples: Co-operative Uniform Network Transporters Packages.NET or ActivePackages PenguinPacks Shall we narrow it down to a category, at least? :) - Jordan > --dkEUBIird37B8yKS > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Disposition: inline > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > On Sun Oct 28, 2001 at 01:48:20PM -0800, Eric Melville wrote: > >=20 > > The project has a somewhat bizarre name, because libh sort of implies -lh. > > This isn't the case, it isn't a single library at all. > > For what it's worth, libh needs a new name, it's official. :) > > A. > > --dkEUBIird37B8yKS > Content-Type: application/pgp-signature > Content-Disposition: inline > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) > Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org > > iEYEARECAAYFAjvcf2QACgkQttcWHAnWiGfMFACfcwwl2g3MS5s87b6jxQ8UCKU0 > LeYAn0pYRm4NmqYayDgJXGdmEenSVMWO > =qhsM > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > --dkEUBIird37B8yKS-- > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-libh" in the body of the message
