I consider myself good at naming, so I'll bite. How about MineR? FiltR? ScanR? DeduceR? Mines are used to extract stuff (like rubies.) Filters are used to extract coffee and tea. Of course filters already have a connotation in computing which may not exactly match up with this project. Scanning can involve extracting information. Deducing as well. Hmm, there is already a miner project on RubyForge...grrr. Filtr, scanr and deducer are available though. FYI, I'm really into these end in R names. I'm the mentor for Ilmari Heikkinen who is writing an OpenGL widget system for SoC, and I just suggested he call it GlimR ;) Then he came back with alternatives like GlitR and GlamR, hehehe. You could do this all day. It worked for Flickr. RyanR
