I searched the debian-user archive on the web site for the last 6 months
and found no hits for "AIMS".
I looked back through the articles in the References in this message all
the way back to the beginning (or as far as my local archive of this
list goes, about 4 days), and there are no references to AIMS (except
for the one above).
I did a grep on my local mail archive of debian-users and I found one
message by you mentioning the name, not three, on another sub-thread,
which arrived _after_ I sent my initial message.
And, your talk about "first one on the list" clearly predates your first
mention of the name; you only mentioned it in a followup to someone else
who couldn't find it. Your first reference to the project is here:

_Then_ you gave the name in a followup to this message.

Perhaps 10 seconds _if_ you're familiar with SourceForge and it's
structure. You have to correctly navigate 4 layers of link-filled pages
before you get to the right spot, and your oh-so-useful directions of
"go look on sourceforge in the email clients" doesn't provide much
direction for the uninitiated.

See above.
The description of the project looks cool. I'll be interested to see it
when there's something working.

Sure, that'd be great. Or, you could quit being so damn coy and give the
name in the first place, then I could type it into the search box on the
homepage at SourceForge and find it very easily.
Come to think of it, I like the Pamela idea better though.
