+1 :)

We don't need to decide a *package name* (the package names are clear), 
we need to decide a name for the *egg*. Often the name of the egg and 
the name of the package are the same, but when an egg contains several 
packages, it doesn't have to be.

-1 if that's the only thing the 'zope.app' egg would contain.

-1 to all. Every one of those names suggest that they contain a package 
with that name, which they don't.

How about ZopeAppBBB35 ?

By the way, I've seen that you guys are creating eggs of some stuff 
that's really meant for spring cleaning (e.g. zope.app.externaleditor, 
zope.app.css off of the top of my head). Instead of linking the external 
to the Zope 3 tree, how about actually *moving* this stuff *out* of the 
Zope 3 tree into their egg? Note that this stuff has never been part of 
a Zope 3 release anyway.
