There has been an explosion of methodologies and tool sets — both open source and proprietary — to fulfill the demand for quickly locating and searching documents. Mash Apache Derby with a new OpenOffice 2.0 feature to create a repository that lets you store, search, and extract ODF documents in a standards-based manner."

    ...can we stop "mashing" things. Right now.

    It is a silly new word, which brings no new meaning.

    There are plenty of good alternatives, technical or not -- combine, connect, link, interface, integrate, etc.

      It's better than "squirting" Apache into OO.org.

      One could make any number of Apache squirting jokes but this is /. after all.

    An anonymous reader, points us to an IBM article that you can't read without signing up for, gives no summary, and whose title makes no sense "mash apache derby" ? Can we reject stories like this or at least make them clarify what the hell they're even talking about?

    I know it's too late, but if you have any heart at all, please do not spread this extremely annoying use of the word any further. I do not want Apache on my dinner plate, nor in any way do I want it smashed, pulverized, or otherwise rendered into unrecognizable goop like the word "mash" itself has apparently been. I've suffered through blogs and vlogs and podcasts and bennifers and brangelinas - and even Lewis Carroll would be turning in his grave at these dreadful portmanteaus which are less about expanding the language and more about general journalistic laziness. othrwse we mit as wll all uz IMspk and wrdsmsh all r communc8s 4 lezins sak k thx
