Binding: Project Name Change


OK everyone (there's not many of you)-

  I know this project has only existed for a few days, but I'm changing the
name of it (yes, already). I've been told, correctly, that binding is simply
too boring and mundane a name ;-) So, I've come up with something a little
more creative, and hopefully cooler. The project will be changed over to (in
the next day or so):

zeus.enhydra.org

While it may not seem that Zeus has much relevance to data binding, you are
probably thinking too mythologically. In addition to being the top dog in
Greek god-land, Zeus has another (cooler) meaning.

Zeus Faber is the name of a deep sea fish that changes its color to match
its surroundings. It thereby can both defend itself, and attack others, by
fitting in with where it is, rather than being confined to areas where its
static color matches up. Sort of fits in with data binding, huh?

And, the even cooler part is that astute X-Files watchers (like me) will
recall that the Zeus Faber was the name of the submarine that carries in the
black oil to everyone else in the world. In a sense, Zeus was the beginning
of the whole X-Files mythos. So I like the name, and since I'm king for a
day, I'm using it ;-)

If you are already subscribed to binding@xxxxxxxxxxx, you don't have to do
anything. Your subscription will be changed over. If I've copied you
specifically, hop on-board.

And stay tuned today, as I plan to outline what we're going to be doing, and
involvement will be welcome. So thanks...

-Brett
