About the ehcache name and logo

Adam Murdoch came up with the name in a moment of inspiration while we were stuck on the SourceForge project create page. Ehcache is a palindrome. We thought the name was wicked cool.

The logo is similarly symmetrical, and is evocative of the diagram symbol for a doubly-linked list. The JDK1.4 LinkedHashMap, and Apache's LRUMap are a HashMap with a doubly-linked list running through all of its entries. These structures lie at the heart of ehcache.
