Just in case some of you may have missed Olivier's message (it is harder 
to track on the mailist), Olivier posted this list a couple of days ago 
and suggested to limit posting on this thread. I believe he is trying to 
set up a polling/voting page where you could vote on the list of 
suggestions in his list that he collected from the suggestions on this 
thread. I believe he is concentrating on this list of names.
