Hi Fabrizio, I usually don't write mails when I'm on vacation, but I really feel like I want to answer this one.
The concept of a concierge, in regards of the description you gave, is a good idea (monitoring all comings and goings). However, I just want to underline that in French, "concierge" is not a really beautiful word. I wouldn't want to say "As-tu installé Concierge pour gérer ton référentiel ?" It just doesn't sound good. What's more, in the French collective unconscious, "concierge" can unfortunately have a pejorative meaning. We have expressions like "Celle-là, c'est une vraie concierge" which carry this pejorative meaning. So these are the reasons why I'm not sure this would be a nice name for MRM. At least in France, which of course is not the whole world :o) In the same idea, what about "Sentinel" ? (or "Sentinelle" in French ;o)) Wikipedia: "A sentinel usually refers to a sentry or guard<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard>that guards a particular place, person or item, as well as an honor guard <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_guard>." Cheers, Fabrice. On 8/1/06, Fabrizio Giustina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'll start with a first proposal: what about "Concierge"? :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concierge A concierge (French), in French apartment buildings, is an employee who lives on the premises and serves as a janitor and general caretaker. [...] In 19th century and early 20th century apartment buildings, particularly in Paris, the concierge, often a middle-aged woman, had a small apartment on the ground floor and was able to monitor all comings and goings.
