[Edu-sig] Some URLs that I talked about Last Night at the BOF

[Guido van Rossum]

Thanks for posting all these links! And thanks to all who attended the
App Engine BOF at PyCon!

I only have some silly nits to add, which are just about what to call
the product.

First, please never refer to it as "The Google App Engine." It's the
product's name, so it's just "Google App Engine." (You don't refer to
Python as "the Python" do you? :-)

Next, if you can avoid it, don't use the abbreviation "GAE". If you
want to be brief, say "App Engine".

Finally, I sometimes see people call it "Google Apps Engine." This is
a conflation of "Google Apps" (a totally different Google product!)
and "App Engine."

Finally, if you have a choice, write "App Engine" rather than "AppEngine."
