The proposal on the website is not publicly accessible. However, I've 
made the Google Docs version publicly accessible:

I agree that a three letter acronym is quite popular and would make 
things easy, but I would still support strong APA as the name since it 
clearly states what the scheduler is doing.

Going by some of the existing filenames, I thought the files should be 
called `schedulerapasmp.c` and similarly for others. That is also the 
name I used in the proposal.
