First let me start by saying this needn't become a "what color should
we paint the bike shed" issue, then suggest a name with a wider scope,
as "wall" refers the a firewall. m0n0core works imho.

Maybe we should start by defining the project goals first, then work
on a name. Many projects pick a temporary name until the direction and
purpose is more defined. In that case, keeping m0n0wall or m0n0AP is
fine with me too.

From an administration standpoint, blogs and wikis are easy to manage,
so they may have a place in this project.

Also, a bug / issue tracker might help too. I just did a bunch of
research on them and found phpbt to be the right choice for my needs,
though it is a bit dated and needs a few patches.

You are right - the maintenance could be a burden. How about limiting
the OS and architecture support to a chosen few? IMHO, the benefits of
portability are great, and the majority of them are realized when a
project is supported on more than one platform. More than two or three
is a lot more work for a little more gain.

I would like to support for the following architectures:

x86
x86_64
ARM
PowerPC
MIPS (maybe)

through a mix and match of these distros:
m0n0wall obviously
FreeWRT / OpenWRT / uclinux
debian / voyager
