We will probably argue long and hard. My > contribution "Application Support States". Close, but no whole cigar ;-) I like "Application Support Progress" somewhat better. (and "Progress" has a coolness factor associated with it :) Although it's 3 not very short words, so that might disqualify it easily... Hmm, and what about doing away with "Support" entirely ? Then it'd be usable.

Then you'd expel "Community", I think (it wouldn't really fit in there). But of course I'm aware that "Legal" might not easily get associated with "The Wine Team".
