RE: [ebxml-mktg] ebXML name

[Alexei Chirokikh <chiroka@us.ibm.com>]

Team,

Should we close this thread? I think our future direction with name change
is obvious - keep it. Think about how much efforts, money and time were
invested in ebXML. Why do we need to start it again?

Regards, Alexei

Daniel,

Whatever you call it -  Foobar-flakes, Krispy-Creme-EDI, it will all take
time
and effort to promote.  People are not born understanding this stuff.

Lets promote the name we have - it has WAY MORE recognition than
you realize - books written on it - hundreds of articles - spec's, et al.

Just run a Google on ebXML to get a sense of the volume out there
already.  This is presence - and it has been hard fought for over three
years.
