Even more trivially: What is the new 'Z' nomenclature for the persistent store? ZPOS? ZBase? ZPersist?

I'd also like to settle on the final name for the database. Choices are:

a. ZDB b. ZBase c. ???

ZBase sounds too much like "dBase". I've tended to call it the Zope ODB. You could call it Z POS, but people might think it's a point of sale system.

ZDB or ZODB is probably good, unless someone comes up with a great marketing-friendly term (Z Whizzo!).

I'm going to vote for ZStore because this follows the geenral marketing terminology for object-databases (Versant, et. al.), even though part of me wants to call it the Zope Dish :-) You know, where you store your Zope! Note the one possible confusion would be if at some point there was a release of a "shopping cart" mechanism that wanted to call itself something like that... so for that, ZCart :-) ZAnswer is always obvious.
