I always say "Replication of non-static data" or "non-volitile data"
but perhaps that's too... advanced? for PR blather. Hrm. Will
ponder this.

I hadn't thought of this; I expect the cost or printing the pamphlets
to be less than printing the "quick ref" cards. But I'm probably
wrong and they'll both be $$$. But I bet I can find sponsors, between
SNA, AC&NC, Teradactyl, etc....

Huh. Like?

The short answer to the longer story [i'll tell you on IRC] is that it
"should be moved back into openafs.org land any time now."
And tomorrow I'll wake up with a supermodel's body. *cough*. Ahem. Sorry.
I'll beat jhutz up about this some more.
