Yes, this is a great start I'll try and think of some questions for

homepage on Linux Start, though if we eventually want our own
website, 
we do have a problem: xpl.com, xpl.org (I do tend to lean more
towards 
this one!), xpl.net, expel.com, expel.org, expel.net; they all happen 
to be taken, yet...they have no websites assciated with them.  Anyone 
have any suggestions about what we can do?

We could follow oasis' lead and use:

xpl-open.org
or
open-xpl.org

as it is an open source project.

However I believe there is a very obscure language already in 
existence with
the acronym XPL -
Some flavour of Pascal I think, I could find virtually nothing on it. 
We
could be facing a naming conflict...

I'll do a search on one of the search engines and see if you're 
right about the name, but XPL is what this language is going to 
be called, so if we upset the Pascal camp, well...we'll come to 
that if it happens.  :)  Well, maybe if one of us could contact the 
owner of XPL.ORG (do a whois from one of the registars' websites; I 
would but I haven't been able to access my email for over a week) and 
see if he/she would give it to us.

For searches in the U.S. only:

U.S. copyright office records and found copyrights registered for the
following:

XPL compiler
XPL: Extendable Programming Language

The above bears looking into, but I couldn't be bothered figuring out 
the
telnet commands at this time of the evening.

I also found four trademarked versions of XPL, registered by:

XPL LUBRICANTS INC. (OIL CONDITIONER, PENETRATING OIL, GREASE, MOTOR 
OIL,
TRANSAXLE OIL, AND FUEL CONDITIONER)
Xplosif Inc. (CLOTHING; NAMELY, WOMEN'S BLOUSES)
Stillwater Designs & Audio, Inc.   (AUTOMOTIVE SPEAKERS)
Gersman, Lana Toni  (STENCILS FOR APPLYING LIPSTICK AND STENCILS FOR
APPLYING LIP PENCIL)

I could not find a thing on XPL being trademarked for the rest of the 
world.

Okay, you are right, there is a Pascal language out there called XPL
based on StatsPascal.  But, this language is still going to be called
XPL (because I didn't know about the Pascal name when I came up with
this idea.); what are they going to do...sue us?!  Doubt it.  But the
thing is, they don't really seem to use the term XPL anywhere except
