Jim,

That's exactly what I was thinking except maybe we should drop the "S" work
as well.  Shhh.

I was thinking that a simple metaphor could be adopted with the moniker.
Java has the cool feature name of "beans", for example.  So for example if we
picked another "drink" maybe
    Tea (could have bags as projects)
    Cola
    Wine <-- already taken
    Soda (fizz comes to mind)

I thnk the "e" + "i" prefixes have run their course.

Perhaps other "sounds"?
    Hmm
    Ah
        attached sound bites here could be funny

Stop me before I get too carried away this morning... :)
