I thought of GNU ELPA (also as) a waiting-room or a staging area. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Folks, What we need is a meaning-less name - in corporate-speak a code-name, a release name. We shouldn't allow questions like "What goes here and what doesn't go here?" to arise. Get creative. Dig in to mythology, folklore, sci-fi or resort to just plain absuridty. Call it - absurd - bazaar (flea market) - confused - hairball - hammock - inbox - memo - mystic - noodle - pandora - piggy (bank) - rug - sack - sandbox - spaghetti - just base64 encode your favorite star's name ----------------------------------------------------------------
