Here is an idea from me: I would like to rename "Update Accelerator",
because:
 * It is hard to spell and a lot of people mispronounce it.
 * It is a very long word. That's not only inconvenient to type but also
   bloats navigation bars and so on.
 * It really does not make clear what the software does, because it does
   not accelerate the download of an update (at least not in the first
   place), so it would be better to use the word "cache" here.
 * If we enhance the functionality it won't be limited to "updates",
   so that won't fit anymore either.
 * We don't want to confuse it with the piece of software that is an
   add-on for IPCop.

I could even find more reasons, but I couldn't find a name which is
better so far.

Please move this to the "new" development area over here:

http://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/proxy/update-accelerator

The pages in /en/development are pretty outdated or wrong. We also
wanted to move the development stuff away from the part of the wiki that
is translated, because development documentation is not worth the
translation because of the limited amount of people who are reading it.
