There seem to be quite a few Java projects that relate to Chemistry - what if Apache later wants to create its own Chemistry project?
Although the name Chemistry is quite neat, I think it would be a waste (as well as confusing) to use it for something totally unrelated. If the abbreviation CMIS becomes well-known, then Apache CMIS would be a better choice. On 21/04/2009, Yeliz Eseryel <yeliz2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ross, > I thought of the same thing.
