Most of my colleagues haven't heard about Maria until I mentioned it to them. I guess renaming it Aria is okay without having to worry about confusion on MariaDB and Aria. I'm guessing only us, people in this mailing list knew of its existence. I say we start renaming now. Regards.

See: http://askmonty.org/blog/rename-maria-contest-winner/ With the name being changed I wanted to solicit opinions on how to manage the change on askmonty.org, the KB, and elsewhere. It's not too hard to search and replace instances of the word Maria with Aria (where Maria is refering to the storage engine and not the person, of course). The main question is when. I see at least three possible courses of action: 1. Make the change now 2. Wait for the change to be commited to bzr and then make the change 3. Wait for the change to be released in a version of MariaDB and then make the change Any preferences/thoughts on this? Once we have a consensus on the timing there is the question of how to word the change. Do we change the text: "The Maria storage engine" to "The Aria storage engine" or do we change it to "The Aria (formerly Maria) storage engine" (or something similar)? If there is a lack of strong opinions on this I'll just pick one and do it consistently everywhere. I'm also copying the community team on this, since they may have some good input on this.
