What shall we call this thing ??

[kippesp]

This is only for internal reference and pretty much only by me.  I'm 
basically using the name for documentation, source code management, 
and file directory purposes.  I just wanted something other than 
hpfgu-catalog.  Generally, nerds use such things as short-hand 
references so that other nerds know what they're talking about--but 
of course no one else does.  I don't consider myself a nerd, but 
like the idea of such sillyness.

Of course, being that this only matters to me, I don't even need to 
tell anyone.  But I finally came up with something with the help of 
the HP Lexicon.

Paracelsus - derived from the Bust of Paracelus, which is located 
halfway down the corridor leading from the Gryffindor Common Room to 
the shortest route to the Owlery

I thought it appropriate since our little project will provide the 
shortest path to good Yahoo Group content the seeker is interested 
in.  At least it should do that...eventually.
