RE: [cgiapp] A new project name for CGI::Application

["Jesse Erlbaum" <suppressed>]

Hi David -- 

> I think we're stuck with CGI::Application:

I don't think the module name should change, but there is a larger
architecture at work here, and I am all for naming it and promoting it.
CGI-App (the module) is only one part of that architecture -- maybe a
central part, but only one part.

Let me say one thing about my own experience talking to people about the
module:  I'm getting a little tired of explaining to people "...don't
let the 'CGI' in 'CGI-App' fool you -- it is not necessarily CGI-based."
It does seem like some antiquated compatibility layer, if you only hear
the name.

I have it in mind to create a new CPAN module -- a Bundle which loads
CGI-App and all the other popular modules.  This bundle would also
contain some infrastructure which implements popular best practices --
for instance, harness scripts to build up project scaffolding at the
start.

BTW, I'm involved in a project called "Matchstick" (a spin off of the
Krang CMS project) which covers some of these goals.  It would make much
sense to integrate that into this.

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/matchstick/


That being said, in an effort to come up with a better name, I propose
we assemble a master list of names and then vote them "off the island"
until we have a winner.  Anyone want to assemble a master list to start?


TTYL,

-Jesse-
