First, a heartfelt thank you to all for participating in this discussion. I am tempted to keep Cava _for now_ given this late feedback, and proceed to proposing the project. To be more precise, I recommend we get the project into the incubator with this name. We can change the name of the project 3 to 6 months in.
We have so far received significant interest from the Apache community and others, and it looks like we can go from there. John, good point on this website, kava.io. I note the company is named Kava Labs Inc. and their GitHub is Kava-Labs. https://github.com/Kava-Labs It also looks like their code is in the crypto domain, but more on the interchange/wallet side and written in Go and TypeScript. I’ll add them to the list when performing the suitable name search item on Jira. I am going to give everyone 48 hours to voice strong opinions against this approach.
