[geojquery] Name change

[Anne Blankert]

  Hello list,

My vote: +1, for MapQuery (or mapQuery)

== some arguments to throw in:
- geojquery is not so easy to pronounce
+ geojquery is already a somewhat established name
+ there already exists a website and mailinglist for geojquery

- MapQuery can be confused with software specialised on querying maps only
+ the word 'Query' in MapQuery is the same as the word Query in jQuery
+ MapQuery does for maps what jQuery does for javascript
+ MapQuery refers to visual / gui maps, 'geojquery' is less GUI like

Cheers,

Anne
