Doing a quick Google I didn't find anything relevant on Merenque. For
Chasse I found http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/download/chasse.aspx and
http://www.chasseconsulting.com/. The first is some sort of
shareware/freeware hunting game for Windows and the second is a sales
consulting firm. I couldn't locate the website of the author of the
game, just various places it could be downloaded.
Personally, I don't think either of these names would be a problem and
would be happy with either one.
I kind of like Merengue. It makes me think of Lemon Meringue Pie :-) .
Meringue is also light and airly, sort of like a Cocoon. Did you notice
that when you typed in Merenque in wikipedia it changed the spelling to
Merengue? I didn't find anything relevant under that spelling on Google
or TESS either. dictionary.com doesn't have a listing for Merenque but
does for Merengue so I suspect that Merenque is an improper spelling in
English. Of course, that isn't necessarily a problem.

Corona currently consists of 4 functional modules:
cocoon-corona-pipeline, cocoon-corona-sitemap,
cocoon-corona-controller and cocoon-corona-servlet. Using functional
names isn't an appropriate solution for our problem. This would lead
to a lot of confusion because we would get names that are already
used (cocoon-pipeline, cocoon-sitemap).
I'm really tired of this. What's next?
1) Just use Corona. If Eclipse complains we will be forced to rename
the project to something else. Then you will get to do this all
again, but it will be worse since artifacts will probably have been
released and people will wonder where the project went.
2) Dream up a new name.
a) Find a descriptive name along the lines of what Henri suggested
- i.e. one or two words that describe what the purpose of the
subproject is.
b) Choose another codename despite Henri's suggestion. Use the
link to TESS to determine whether it is available to use. Bertrand
suggested one (Weedle). It doesn't show up at TESS and it's use on
Google seems to revolve completely around Pokemon. A couple of other
names were also suggested that I haven't checked.
As I said before, I don't see any chance for a descriptive name that
doesn't (partly) collide with something already existing in the Cocoon
world.
Weedle sounds (and looks) cute but TBH I'm not happy with its Pokemon
origin.
So let's find some more suggestions:
Cocoon Chasse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chasse or chassé is a dance step used in many dances in many variants,
all of them being triple-step patterns of gliding character, steps
going basically step-together-step (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasse)
I really like the analogy to our concepts of pipelines:
Pipeline ....................... Chasse
Component ...................... Step
Chasse is also used in many dances. In analogy this is also one of the
goals of Corona that was designed to support different objects that
are streamed (SAX events, STaX events, etc.).
TESS doesn't show any usuage of Chasse in the context of software or
electronics.
Cocoon Merenque
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merengue is a type of lively, joyful music and dance that comes from
the Dominican Republic[1]. It is popular in the Dominican Republic,
and all over Latin America. Merengue means whipped egg whites and
sugar in Spanish, similar to the English word meringue. It is unclear
as to why this name became the name of the music of the Dominican
Republic. But, perhaps, It can trace its meaning from the movement on
the dance floor that could remind one of an egg beater in action.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merenque)
Again, I like the possible analogy of a pipeline and a dance.
TESS doesn't show any usage of Merenque.
Both names sound good to me as German speaker and I don't know of any
irritating connotation.
What do people who speak other languages think about it?
My personal preference is Chasse because it slightly sounds better to
me, is shorter and starts with a "C".
