Completing the suitable name search seems to be the major obstacle to graduation. I suspect that "Rat" will prove not unique enough to be a suitable top level project name.
"Creadur" means creature or animal in Welsh, a language which has some sentimental significance to me and which hasn't been mined out for software names. If "Apache Rat" turns out to be unsuitable, how about "Apache Creadur" as the top level project name? (with Rat, Tentacles, Whiskers and so on, of course) Robert
