So, up to this point, Langdon White and his merry band of Modularity folks have been calling the proposed modular Fedora Server by the name of "Crazy Server", which I am not fond of. This is for a number of reasons, but mostly because I can't imagine anyone willingly installing and trying something its creators are calling "crazy".
Extremely enthusiastic server is a bit long though.
So, I think we need a better name for this effort. My personal suggestion would be to call it "Adaptive Server". Other suggestions welcome.
What makes it adaptive? If it's only user initiated, that's customization. Adaptation indicates the server dynamically alters its behavior on its own.
Well, the infrastructure adapts to the needs of the users. Not the installed system. In the classic Fedora Server, you get exactly the set of stuff available in the common repository and if you want something else, you need to figure out a workaround. With the modularity implementation, it becomes possible (and supportable) to pull in the set of stuff you need to support your application.
Also, I was looking for a term that would carry some positive "marketing" connotations, beyond the simple descriptive nature of "Modular Server". Basically, something that catches the eye enough that someone keeps reading to find out what it means.
Maybe a job for Marvin the Martian. Just make up a word. But hey I'm not a marketer.
Make up a word, kinda like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsela
Wow, I thought I was the only person who ever had those :)
I sorta wish I'd had the room to keep the cool stuff like this. About the same time I had one of these. $80 vintage, I could have it again! http://www.tgldirect.com/product_files/631101090000/vintage-metal-mighty-ton...
Capsela 1000, $220 damn.
A storage unit definitely would have cost a lot more though.
