It's time to revive this thread. The thread was basically dead without a
result. So please use this one again for discussions. After that I will
start a vote again on the name that we found via the discussion on that
thread (this time with proper [vote] prefix).

This weekend I was at the JSConf.eu and had the chance to talk to Jörn
Zaefferer (jQuery UI) about the name. Using the full jQuery is probably
be possible legal wise, though in my opinion it is a bit sketchy for
calling it like this, as people would think it's connected to the main
jQuery project.

Am I right that there were two propositions: MapQuery and jQuery Spatial?

In case you are annoyed by this thread feel free to send a mail to me
off-list with a one liner that you don't care or in favour of one name.

Cheers,
  Volker
