I am going to use this space to reply to both Doug's and Ray's suggestions 
for names for this project.

Amanuensis sounds pretty good.

Ray, I was wondering where you came up with names?

Ratchett and Legree both sound good, but where are they derived from?
It would be nice to know.

BTW where did O'Brien come from?
All of these sound pretty good.

How about a quick vote?
