"contrib" sounds like as good of a name as any. I'll move the ALM 
project the next chance I get.

As for if people really care about ALM in uP3 I really think the work 
that Drew & Pat did at Chico mitigate many of the current ALM 
implementors concerns, at least that is my impression from those I have 
talked to. That they could potentially migrate from ALM to DLM using the 
Chico tools & experience helps mitigate the worry of ALM maintenance and 
provides viable upgrade paths. Perhaps this is something we could have 
the board or steering committee do a slightly more formal survey of.
