Now back to the subject since we talked about it, I'd like to start a project "cl-bayes" that will be a Bayesian Patter filtering library.

Also, IMHO cl-bayes is really not quite kosher as far as names go: there are a zillion things a bayenesian filter can do, and a zillion ways it can be implementead. CL-BAYES and BAYES both suggests a certain naturality. How about some name that contains "bayes", but is not "it".

I wonder if it's really a good thing for clo admins to exercise this much control over projects, including their names. Perhaps it would be better to just dispense names on a first come, first serve basis? I'm worried that this will come across as heavy handed.
Miles, I can understand your point, but I think this is kind of a special case. The proposal kind of came out of a thread I had with Nikodemus about spam filtering for clo, so I don't really feel like he was overstepping any bounds by making the suggestion. And really that's all it was, a suggestion, no more no less.
In this case (as I have posted in the reply to his suggestion) I really didn't have much of an attatchment to the name, and in fact I welcome any input if someone has ideas for a more applicable name.
Cheers,
Anthony
