When I first thought of this idea before discovering this project I thought of the name GLIA, global lattice of interlinked appliances. Glia is the name for the brain cells that do all the work of connecting and transmitting brain messages (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glial_cell>). I'm not a big fan of the acronym I came up with based on the word glia. Does anyone have a better idea?

if you guys like the term Glia (or glion), you can try to come up with a better acronym.

That is not so bad. A quick google search for "span linux" found:

http://www.irisa.fr/lande/genet/span/

which appears to be a user space tool to draw message sequence
charts. Its a French university project. It would be polite to ask if
they mind having a linux kernel module with the same name, just in
case they claim some sort of trademark.

Are you suggesting a mass rename: In the kernel module sources batman
or batman-adv becomes span?
