Good term for "super-project"

[Intransition]

Rather a minor thing, but it's been on my TODO list for too long.

I'm looking for a good single word term to mean "super-project". That
is, the grouping of a collection of sub-projects.

RubyForge uses the term "project" to mean the super-project and
"package" to mean the sub-project. I've been using that terminology
for awhile, but I have never been fully happy with it b/c commonly
people are referring to the sub-project when they say "project".

With GitHub coming on the scene, we have different terms, basically
"account" is the super-project and "repository" refers to the sub-
project.

I want to use the term "project" for the sub-project term. I think
that makes the most sense. But I've been stuck trying to figure out
the best term for the super-project. I've tried "namespace" in
addition to "account", but neither feels right.

Does anyone have a suggestion(s)?

Thanks.

Collection?

Collection?

Hm, collective noun for "project"? Can't find anything[1,2], but maybe
we can adapt:

Anthology
Flotilla
Constellation
Pride (as in lions)

I rather like Anthology. Makes me feel all literary.

You know, I almost went for it. I like how "Anthology" makes me feel
too ;-)

In the end however, Mr. Martin's suggestion of "collection", though a
little too generic in itself, led me to "suite", which isn't perfect
either, as it tends to convey a stronger connection between the
projects than there actually might be, but I think it's close enough.
