I didn't say that Network Address Translation (NAT) was a trademark;
I said that asserting trademark might be problematic. There's a
difference: we'd be trying to take a name from a term that's in
common use. ;-)
I'm not sure if it's an actual problem, but it might be.

Andy Tsoi named the project originally. Some background on the
name is here: http://nattable.org/drupal/?q=faq We
don't have a formal trademark or anything. IANAL either, but I
don't think Network Address Translation is a trademark - it's just
a trade acronym.

Sorry to do this piecemeal...
Before we can move forward with creation, we have to deal
with trademarking the project name.
Who owns the NatTable name? i.e. to whom is the trademark
assigned?
I'm a little concerned that--owing to the similarity with
Network Address Translation (NAT) Tables--asserting
trademark on the name may be problematic (IANAL, so
there's subtleties that I'm not familiar with). You may
need to be prepared to change the name.

I just noticed the LGPL dependency
(GlazedLists). Note that you cannot distribute
LGPL-licensed code from eclipse.org. We can
likely create a "works with" dependency on
GlazedLists given that it is an optional feature.
We're reviewing the proposal.

Hi Wayne,
I moved the NatTable proposal into the
standard template, attached. The Mentors section
is not complete yet (Tom, Chris A - I think you
guys had offered to be/find mentors before?)
Please let me know if you need me to
reformat/fill in any more info.
Thanks,
Edwin

I assume that you've read the
"Starting a new Project" Wiki page [1].
The next step is for you to provide the
document to me using the standard template
(be sure to keep the markup plain; I'm not
sure what a Google Docs export will turn
out like). Note that there are a few
sections (Why Eclipse?, Mentors) missing
from your document that need to be
provided. We will need to identify some
mentors for the project, but we can do
that after the proposal is posted. Once I
have the proposal in the standard
template, I will get approval from the EMO
executive director and then post the
proposal for community review.
