 +1 for cache (even if we maintain a swedish translation that gives us the chance to chose something that works better)

I remember ~years~ ago in the early days of Koha, we had a discussion about
what to call this pool of records. I think "reservoir" may have been my
suggestion, but I've never been happy with that term. There must be a
better, more descriptive term.

The only term which comes to my mind now as possibly better is "cache"
but would that be understood by more librarians?  I wonder if it's
become more mainstream with the rise of geocaching and so on.

I don't see it in the original discussion that ended with
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/008182.html (you'll need to
use the thread index because some people were using metadata-losing
email clients back then).  At least "reservoir" still seems like an
improvement on "breeding farm" :-)
