I suggested morgue because it is a newspaper term that basically means "library". Because newspapers are time sensitive, not unlike versions of code, yesterday's stories are "dead" and go into the morgue.
Others have suggested "archive", which works just as well. For some reason, though, I think of old code as dead ... useful, but dead ... so I proposed "morgue".

However if I had to suggest what one would put in a morgue, I would suggest dead people. They don't tend to fight too much and generally find the accommodations acceptable. -Andy On 8/15/03 6:13 PM, "Paul Hammant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Andy, > > What are we planning to put in the morgue ? > > - Paul > >>> What about "morgue". >>> >>> >> >> The things may be dead, but the living still want to poke them about a bit >> before they are finally buried.. or perhaps brought back to life again in >> the "return-of-the-living-dead.apache.org" project. >> >> >> > -- Andrew C.
