Fab, thanks for the reference Gabriel!

FWIW, I'll keep a list of all such suggested category names, bounce  
them of folks at the next ActivityTeam meeting, perhaps the next

consensus. I know that not everyone has free time or can make realtime  
IRC meetings; I often struggle/fail to wake up for some as well ;-)
