It's still abstract and geeky, though. Besides, too many Zope 2 products 
tacked NG on to their names (TextIndexNG3, anyone?), and it's starting to 
sound a little silly.

Anyway, I think something like this would require some serious time and a 
serious proposal to be taken to a vote. It's possibly more in the domain of 
the Zope Foundation (at least it would've been in the Plone Foundation domain 
ha it been Plone). My vote would go for something that's a name and not an 
acronym or abbreviation, though. :)
