How about arche@haskell.org ? Arche is Greek for 'start', 'beginning'. It is used in the word 'hierarchy' and is suitably short, as well as being original.

While this is an excellent name in itself--short, original, and intellectual, fitting the nature of the list--it would seem to suggest some (albeit heretofore nonexistent) alternative library named "Arche" for Haskell for readers unfamiliar with this name. The main problem is that, by itself, the name doesn't ring a bell for readers unfamiliar with Greek etymology, and seems to be a very creative name for some Haskell tool. Nevertheless, because this name is so original, I am forwarding it to the Haskell mailing list as a reference. I would alternatively suggest alpha@haskell.org (the beginning) for beginners, and omega@haskell.org (the end) for teachers. -- Benjamin L. Russell
