I like Slush’s suggestion of “Tinder.” The link with the firy-theme of this community is obvious, and I like the ‘fire-starter’ implications that the name has.
I did a quick google for “xmpp tinder”. One hit that pops up is a Ruby API for Campfire. Although it’s somewhat related to chat, I think there’s enough distinction between that project and ours - I don’t feel the duplicate names would be confusing in that respect.
Tinder is cool with me … I can’t say I “like” OpenTinder, but if that’s what works so be it. =)
XTinder kinda has a cute ring to it “ex-tinder” kinda like extender but not. =D
I agree with trying not to copy the name of another library. Especially since it’s also XMPP related. Think about a potential list of available XMPP related libraries – you’d end up having to have something like:
Tinder - Ruby XMPP framework
Tinder - Java XMPP framework
=/
hahahahah what about Thwack? I’m mostly kidding about that one.
I like this idea too. Maybe we can move the org.jivesoftware.openfire.forms and org.jivesoftware.openfire.forms.spi packages also to the new lightweight xmpp libary? I plan to use them with whack and don’t want import all openfire stuff. Maybe there are more packages which are usefull for this libary?
As far as I can tell, the existing project named Tinder provides an API (to a product called BaseCamp, providing webbased chat), but isn’t an XMPP implementation. It can be combined with an XMPP implementation though, which is where the Google hits are based on.
I don’t think naming our project Tinder would cause mentionable confusion. As most of us seem to agree that this name has the best ring to it, I’d like to go with Tinder.
Chris, could you have a SVN repository created by that name please? Anonymous wizards in the order of JIRA (whoever you are), can a JIRA project be created as well please?
Guenther, I’m glad that someone claims usefulness, even before we announced the project. Your use-case is what I had in mind, when proposing the project. I’ve ran into something similar before - I bet others have similar problems.
If someone finds more useful packages that should move from Openfire (or Whack - not everything there might necessarily be external component related) let me know.
I’m writing a short roadmap and project definition, which I’ll share them later this weekend.
Can we go with TINDER, instead of a two-letter abbrevation? The full name is quite short in itself, and wouldn’t mess up any URLs that it’d be included in.
I attempted to add everyone on this thread to the ‘tinder’ group which has RW access (Guus, Daniel, etc), but couldn’t easily locate svn accounts for wroot, Daryl, slushpupie or Guenther. Do you guys have svn accounts? If not, I can create them.
