[name] Slide + HttpComponents => TLP

A project needs a name. Here are some suggestions,
with varying degrees of seriousness.

- HttpComponents
That would be the core of the active codebase.
But http://httpcomponents.apache.org is too clumsy.

- Slide
Short and sounds good, and the root of it all.
But it's an established name, associated with a
project of a very different scope.

- Truposas
The Re-United Project Originally Started As Slide.
I wonder whether there is a language in which that
is an insult :-)

- Glaahay
Geeks Love Acronyms, And How About You?
Getting silly, isn't it? ;-)

- Hataraku [1-4]
Pronounce ha-ta-ra-k, with short "a" as in yadda-yadda.
That's japanese for "to work", with double meaning:
You've got to work to make it work. "ku" is a suffix.
Taking just the consonants of the root, you get: H T R
that's for "HTTP and Related". My favorite, obviously.

Other suggestions? Comments?

cheers,
Roland

In this context, I would like to express my humble opinion:
"Apache HataraCo"

HataraCo (Hatara-ko) means "Let's work!" or "Hey you, work hard!"


1. H T R Co that's for "HTTP and Related COmponents".

2. Client-side HTTP Components would say "Apache HataraCo (Work hard!)" and
the Apache HTTP Server might respond, "It Works!" -- :-)
# It takes me back to the good old days when I encountered Mosaic
# Browser and NCSA HTTP Server (in 1993) as a student of the
# University of Tokyo.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion! I'd even prefer the
"original" spelling with k. There's no need to turn
everything into a acronym, we've got too many already :-)

For those who are not familiar with japanese pronunciation,
all "a" remain short, while the "o" is a long one.
