Ok, so the record, we will continue to use WOCommunity for the name, and we will try to register the non-profit as "WOCommunity Association" or "WOCommunity.org". We just have to always use WOCommunity, not "WebObjects Community" to avoid potential trademark problems.
Other names people suggested:
- WONDER Framework Community Association
- Just "wonder". ie No "project"
- WebJects
- iWonder uWonder wiiWonder
- whistler
- Woturtle (because it's turtles/objects all the way down)
- WebEOs, NEO (Network Enterprise Objects), Project NEO
- Wonder Foundation (drop 'Project')
- WebObjects 2.0 (trademark problems...)
- wonder world

>> Hello everyone,
>>
>> At WOWODC, we discussed branding, and what came out of the discussion is that we should move away from the WebObjects "brand", for the following reasons:
>>
>> 1) When customers search for WebObjects on Google, they will probably find pages saying that it's deprecated (which is true) or other negatives lecture.
>>
>> 2) WebObjects have a reputation of being outdated. When the Apple Online Store is down, search for WebObjects on Twitter, and look at the comments... You know what I mean.
>>
>> 3) Using WebObjects in the name of WOWODC and in the association/foundation name can be a legal problem with Apple.
>>
>> So we are looking for a new name for the community, mainly for the non-profit we will register when we decide on a new name. Some suggested that we use Project Wonder in the organization name, others prefer another name. To sort that out, I created a small survey (it's only one question!) on Survs so that you can tell us if you want to use Project Wonder as the name or if you want something else.

>> So please participate! After all, the organization is there to help you out and to give assurance to your customers, so the organization name is important. Please don't use WebObjects or any other trademark names in your suggestions.
>>
>> Thanks!
