From: "Paul Ferraro" <paul.ferraro(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "mod cluster" <mod_cluster-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2016 4:13:46 AM Subject: [mod_cluster-dev] Proposal for new project name Since the advent of Stuart's Undertow-based mod_cluster implementation, we've discussed the need to rename the "mod_cluster" project to better differentiate the general technology/protocol from its origin as an Apache httpd module. Trivial stuff like this never feels urgent, but given that we've started a 2.x branch of the source code, if we're ever going to change the name, we should do it soon. This email is meant to formally start this discussion. Personally, I would love to see the a new name loosely associated with the word Undertow, ideally with a similar irony (i.e. undertow is generally considered dangerous). Here are some ideas for names, in the spirit of ocean/water-related phenomena: * OverDrive (a literal antonym of Under+Tow) * Overwash (the flow of water and sediment over a coastal dune or beach crest during storm events) * Backrush (the return of water seaward, down the foreshore of a beach, following the uprush of a wave, i.e. the cause of an undertow) * Uprush (a sudden upward surge or flow) * FloodTide (Period when tide level is rising) * TidalBore (a large wave caused by the funneling of a flood tide as it enters a long, narrow, shallow inlet) * TidalJet (fast-moving intrusion of water issuing from a narrow gap through a physical barrier between two bodies of water) * Upwell (to flow upward) * RogueWave (exactly what it sounds like) * Maelstrom (a powerful whirlpool in a sea or river) * Levada (a portuguese aqueduct) * Deluge (downpour of rain causing a flood) * Diluviant (one who pertains to a flood) * Gilgamesh/Bilgamesh (from the Epic of Gilgamesh, an ancient Sumerian story describing one of the oldest great flood mythologies) Of the above, my personal favorites are "Diluviant" and "Maelstrom". Thoughts? Any other ideas?

I think the name is perfect. charybdis.io/org are all available. Thoughts?
