When you mentioned rock band names, I thought of the band Petra, the hebrew (Or greek?) for Peter... Why don't we use a hebrew or Greek word that signifies what the project is, what we could sum it up as in one word? -Dave Overcash -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMA

Another plus for "OpenSword" is that I just ran a search for it on google and came up empty. To me, that means there is a good chance no one has ever used the name before. And once the name is in the meta data of the web site, it will be easier for people to find. Don A. Elbourne Jr. http://elbo
