For the record (especially since there was talk of building a FAQ),
it's spelled "rendezvous".  (For those who care, it's french, and the
word is just a concatenation of "rendez vous"; "present yourself",
thus giving "rendezvous" the meaning of an appointed meeting, or the
place for such a meeting.)
