    "html": "<p>Inspiration struck this morning.  I wanted to get across the idea that this library is essentially a collection of simple, straightforward objects that are all related to each other and share common development principles; in addition, it would come with common application pieces pre-built.  An ant hive seemed a good metaphor to use in that case.  But as we have learned, the name Hive is already taken, so that's out.</p>\n<p>However, I think I have a good replacement name:  the Simple Object Library and Application Repository for PHP, or Solar.  It is short, highly descriptive, lends itself to a logo and a catchphrase, and is sufficiently specific that you know what it is without being so generic that it has no meaning by itself.  And nobody else is using it.  :-)</p>\n<p>So the domains are registered, all that remains is to rename the class structures and re-commit to CVS.</p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE (2005-02-21):</strong> You can visit <a href=\"http://solarphp.com/\">http://solarphp.com/</a> for more information; and, of course, check back on this blog periodically.</p>\n"
