Open Stack

Responding to myself with a different approach, as seen elsewhere in the thread.

I think switching the position of letters is not ideal (e.g. "Uwzhen"
instead of "Wuzhen").
I think emphasizing the second letter is okay (e.g. "wUzhen" instead
of "Wuzhen", with the branch name called "stable/u-wuzhen" to satisfy
tooling).

The name critera are described in [1], and this time around we were looking for names starting with U associated with China. With some extra assistance from local community members (thank you to everyone who helped!), we have a list of candidate names that will go into the poll. Below is a subset of the names propsed, including those that meet the standard criteria and some of the suggestions that do not. Before we start the poll, the process calls for us to provide a period of 1 week so that any names removed from the proposals can be discussed and any last-minute objections can be raised. We will start the poll next week using this list, including any modifications based on that discussion.
