A few days ago, I casually weighed in on the “new name for AMFPHP” debate - I suggested the name “INFRNO”, which was meant to be a reference to the numerous recursive acronyms already in use in various open source/free software projects- INFERNO’s not Flash Remoting, No. To my surprise, it has gained some traction, and it seems to have inspired people, as there’s already several logo designs for it.

Anyway, opinion is not totally unanimous on this, however, as a a few people aren’t so thrilled to change the name at all. As far as I understand though, the name *is* going to change, as the PHP people don’t like other people using their brand. So if you care one way or the other, send an email to:

name_vote@amfphp.org

And tell them what name you want. I think the candidates so far are: INFRNO, Plash, amph, and Falcon. I’m sure they’d be open to other suggestions.
