That rocks! Best recommendation yet, IMHO. My second choice would be CELAN. (CEAN just isn't pronounceable in an obvious way. CANE works, but I think it is a little boring.) > We'll have to think of something for the 'O' to stand for (I think > this is what is known as a retronym). How about Omnipresent? But unless there are a lot of mirrors, that could be false advertisement. Perhaps some other word with an "omni-" prefix? Unfortunately, the ocean.org domain is already taken, but possibly not in active use? celan.org and cane.org are both available for the taking. I think if we do go the CPAN-like route that we could reuse a significant portion of the code the CPAN folks use for mirroring and administration. It looks like someone is trying to get an archive going on ftp.emacs.org. Probably should get in contact with that person and/or other FSF people to get their blessing and support. Hoping this takes off, Ed
