project name conflict

[CrystalMethod]

At least in the Eclipse universe there is a name clash with the long established CDO (Connected Data Objects) [1]. As they are both open source projects I don't think it is good to have this name clash for the community.

I'd like to second what Lars has mentioned. I know that some users of the existing CDO technology are working on a Neo4j integration, too, so that would add to the confusion even more. Your project is comparingly young, so please rename it to something that causes less confusion for the community.

The name was chosen after verifying the results of a popular search engine - seems I overlooked the eclipse project. Even now searching for "CDO" returns a reference to this new project before the eclipse one.
I'd like to stick to the full name "Composite Data Objects" as it exactly explains what the project is about. Maybe there is a chance of finding another abbreviation? Any proposals?

Hi Dirk, thank you for being open to my proposal to look for a different acronym! When I search for "CDO" in google I get my CDO as the fifth result and yours not at all:

What about "Codo" for your project?

Please have in mind that there are personalized search results and other magical things on Google.

I can live with CODO. This is the very first proposal at http://acronymcreator.net, too. But this is not my decision, but the one of the author.

Hi Dirk,

I can see that you're currently pretty active on this project. Have you already decided upon a new acronym? When do you plan to change it? I'd appreciate if you could make that happen rather sooner than later.

I ask for a little patience - as of the current state there will be a renaming of the project to another name and abbreviation for the next milestone (M3).

That's great news. Thank you a lot and good luck for your M3.
