New Words Needed

Titus would like to hear what other people think of this practice—comments on his post would be welcomed. I would personally be grateful for a fuller list of the steps that often need to be taken to turn what graduate students duct-tape together for themselves into tools that others can rely on: it would be a great core for an advanced lesson.

I'd also be grateful if someone could invent a catchy term for doing this. Years ago, some friends and I started using the term "to blaise" to mean "to improve a program's performance". We took the word from Blaise Pascal, who famously apologized, "I made this very long only because I did not have the time to make it shorter." It never caught on, but that's no reason not to try again. Who deserves to be immortalized (with a very small 'i') as a verb meaning, "to make fit for widespread use"?
