Well, right now "ISO" is the name of our project to develop this (or these)
CD(s).  The final name of the downloadable CD-ROM image is still open for
debate.  Personally, I lean toward something like "SEUL/edu Scholastic (or
Educational) Applications Compendium."  It's a little long, but descriptive.  As
to version numbers, I'd eventually like to have the maintenance set up so we
automatically (or semi-automatically, if full-auto isn't feasible) update the
ISOs every week or two.  We can then put a date on each ISO to show its version,
with "-current" alwasy pointing to the most recent one.
