Dear Boost community,
The formal review of Louis Dionne's Hana library starts Monday, 10th June
Is there any rationale for the choice of name? Hana is simultaneously a rare word and also (I
think) a
registered trademark of the technology company SAP.
SAP Hana is a database so there is little scope for confusion between it and Boost.Hana amongst
tech professionals but from the outside world I'm not so sure...

I just needed a short and good looking name that people would easily remember, and Hana came up.
I understand that Louis is in love with the name of his (very nice) baby, but I think it is a very bad idea for a Boost library for the simple reason that it gives no clue whatever about what it is or does. Paul PS At the very least, would it be wise to ask SAP if they mind? --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal UK LA8 8AB +44 (0) 1539 561830
