Humorous naming
Dear all,

We've been asked to submit names for our documentation system. It used to be the very dry ISDL (Information Services Documentation Library)

The replacement is built on a Wiki-beastie but that doesn't help much with a name.

I wondered about an acronym based on CRAFT, so I can give it a name for managers to use, but we all know that it really stands for Can't Remember A Flipping Thing (polite version)

There's also things such as PICNIC, ID-10T or RTFM that might provide inspiration, yet I seem to be lacking a killer phrase to slide one of these in.


Any good yet innocuous IT acronyms that we can use, yet subvert?




Regards,
Robin
