[BlueOnyx:00329] Re: Third party software

[Stephanie Sullivan]

With respect to Brian's applications package. We discussed naming the
databases it creates with the name of the site rather than a random name.
For BO I think the better solution to use the site's built-in database
creation functions so the database will show up with the site and can be
removed when the site is removed. I still like the idea of naming the
databases with the FQDN of the site then a local name. Makes determining
ownership much easier.

	Thanks,
