Shane Curcuru commented on PODLINGNAMESEARCH-11:
------------------------------------------------

Searching for "wink software" is more appropriate than "wink open source".  
From the trademark point of view, what informed consumers are looking for is a 
software product that does something useful for them.  The fact that it's 
software, and does REST server/client stuff is most relevant; the open source 
aspect is much more secondary.

The only thing that potentially concerns me is Winktoolkit, since that talks 
about being a web client as well.  However since they are in JavaScript and are 
quite specific for mobile platforms, and Apache Wink Client is Java-ish and is 
really just the other half of the Server bit, I think that's OK, although I'd 
like to ask for other comments to see if anyone else has a question.

The Wink presentation software is a clearly different kind of application.  End 
users looking to - perhaps - record screenshots of their web server's behavior 
would not be likely to ever confuse that Wink with Apache Wink - which will 
mostly be used by developers writing those servers.
