So why is it called Jetty?
Jetty was originally developed by GregWilkins of Mort Bay Consulting.
Mort Bay is at the heart of Balmain, Sydney NSW, Australia. A former working class suburb, now yuppieville in Sydney's close inner-west. Each weekend thousands (ok, maybe hundreds) flock to the ever growing cafe atmosphere.
GregWilkins was living by Mort Bay when the company was formed, hence
the company name.
Jetty was originally called IssueTracker (its original application) and
then MBServler (Mort Bay SERVLet servER). They suxed as names,
so we changed to Jetty - which also sux, but it starts with a J for
java and there is a little jetty in the mortbay logo.
This explains the logo.
