Oh dear, that's a potential naming conflict. Perhaps this is where the
idea came from, as I have read about this Mushroom Project long ago. As
this hardware project is not longer active, repurposing the name may be
reasonable but I cannot say wityhout that authority. There are 2 layers,
session & presentation, so perhaps 2 names are needed and the one
project needs splitting. And there is the consensus issue. Perhaps I
should use technical names and be done with it: SecureSession &
CryptOCaps. Well, I will leave off changing again until agreed to names
are established, as I don't know what to do about it, but I welcome
suggestions...
Maelstrom, Mushroom, Crystalline & Phosphor, SecureSession & CryptOCaps,
pther suggestions?
Robert
