[BioRuby] gbrowse in ruby: call for names

All,

We might be looking into creating an application similar to gbrowse in perl and CGI, but rather based on Rails and the ruby Bio::Graphics (http://bio-graphics.rubyforge.org). Bottleneck at the moment: how to call the thing :-) Obviously, "gbrowse" is out the the question. I'd like the name to *not* include "rails" or "ruby", because those should be irrelevant to the end user. It should give the idea of a "generic genome browser", but not be called that...

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Witty or clever, but not too complicated...

jan.
