Instead of ARA, how about naming it AURA - the Asterisk Unified Realtime
Architecture. 

The English word Aura also conjures up great imagery:
[from m-w.com]
Main Entry: au·ra
Pronunciation: 'or-&
Function: noun
1 b : a distinctive atmosphere surrounding a given source <the place had
an aura of mystery>
2 : a luminous radiation : NIMBUS
4 : an energy field that is held to emanate from a living being
[/m-w]

The term RealTime conjures up images of RTOSes, not flexible database
interaction.

Giving it a friendly, easy to remember name would help to avoid
confusion for newbies (and oldbies, for that matter).

Cheers,

Jim.
