Then my suggestion is to use "The FOSSILE Project" as the name of the project with "Free and Open Source Software In Libraries Everywhere" as a sub-title, if needed.
Like I've mentioned in other emails, we can find a domain name later that will suit us: "fossileproject.org" is available for example. And there are _many_ TLDs that we could register "fossile.xx" with. I don't think it has to have ".org" at the end of it. I'm open to other suggestions.
