+1 on zcc, +1 on getting some more alternatives as well. ;-) 

in my mind, the degree to which the name Zope is associated with the app 
server (hence the desire for this renaming), is similiar if not less than the  
the degree to which the acronymn zc is associated with zope corp. iotw. i've 
never heard a reference to 'zc' that didn't mean zope corp.
