the name genba
"genba" is a japanese word meaning "the place where things are happening". It is used in the west by Kaizen consultants in the meaning of "shop floor" of a factory, e.g. they would call a medium-level manager out from behind his office desk and drag him out to the "genba", so that he may get directly involved with the processes in the factory.

bittorrent
phm tried to install (debian package is there), but failed to put it to use. domain http://pattorrent.ffii.org is there, see var/www/pattorrent. This system could be useful for distributing patent files (10M pdfs from EPO) over the Internet.
Another possibility is to use FreeCache. In short, you can have any file between 5MB and 1GB cached by them for free by prepending !http://freecache.org in front of the url (e.g. !http://freecache.org//!http://swpat.ffii.org/bigswpatfile.zip)
