RS> How about Remote Emacs Library? We already tried to come up with some names. I can't find the thread but things like GELPA and such were proposed. Regarding REL, it's not a bad name, but sounds a bit like RHEL, the RedHat Enterprise Linux distribution. So it could be confusing. I'm out of ideas at this point... I feel like I'm just nay-saying all the suggestions, so please don't consider my opinion too carefully :) Whatever the name, I'll try to use it consistently. Thanks Ted
