Scribo as a name I mean. And yes, a name for AidaCMS, which is a 
temporary name for open-sourced part of BiArt anyway.

And I'm thinking to have Squeak categories like:

Aida-Scribo-Core   "here comes open-sourced part of BiArt CMS"
Aida-Scribo-Forum
Aida-Scribo-Blog
Aida-Scribo-Wiki
Aida-Scribo-Sites  "for websites like aidaweb.si"
Aida-Scribo-Templates "for templates, also foreign ones like Joomla"
...

or maybe AidaScribo-... ?

What do you think?

Best regards
Janko
