Why limit it to the traditional eight letters or the web4lib pattern?

To me, an old docs person, NGO means Non Governmental Organization.

I'd name it more like "new catalog" or even "new opac" or "opac2" or
whatever...doesn't need lib in the name...after all, who else would
have an OPAC (my goodness, I hate that incredibly stupid name...talk
about us using jargon instead of something users can understand..it
grates on me to read it and even more to type it or say it)

End of rant, I think.
