+Just in case some of you may have missed Olivier's message (it is harder 
+to track on the mailist), Olivier posted this list a couple of days ago 
+and suggested to limit posting on this thread. I believe he is trying to 
+set up a polling/voting page where you could vote on the list of 
+suggestions in his list that he collected from the suggestions on this 
+thread. I believe he is concentrating on this list of names.
