About the name - Dritte

After some discussion on the name - I finally went ahead with "Dritte".

Dritte is German for "Third" and Dritte = Development and Research of Internet Technologies for Third-world Economies

The other choice we considered was Styx. In greek mythology Styx is the name of a river which formed the boundary between earth and the underworld, Hades..Some refer to Styx as the "healing river" and it divides the "real world" from the "under-world" - I thought that we could derive some connotation of the name Styx to bridging the gap between the first and the third world while providing some "healing" to the later. But Styx.org was not available

I hope this resolves the name issue :-)
