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. uri -- Uri Guttman --------- uri@sysarch.com ---------- http://www.sysarch.com SYStems ARCHitecture, Software Engineering, Perl, Internet, UNIX Consulting The Perl Books Page ----------- http://www.sysarch.com/cgi-bin/perl_books The Best Search Engine on the Net ---------- http://www.northernlight.comThread Next
