at gnat's (wonderful) party i was interested to hear larry and gloria
say they both disliked the term 'working group' and they and others were
interested in a better name. larry proposed 'cloysters' (sic) with the
pun on pearl. other names bandied about include nursery (both with the
growth and high energy dynamic meanings), tent (from sarathy) and
kibbutz (a communal group). i entered 'group' into thesaurus.com and
found one i like, conflux. it has the feeling of temporary and change
with flux and the group is covered with con.

anyhow, i just wanted to start a thread on this. patches welcome.
