This is stuff from the mod queue and my inbox. I really love that you guys submit posts and links, and I really hate that giant red "reject" button, but I think it's better to try and round up links in news posts than fill up the f-lists of a couple thousand people (!!) with small chunks of info.

Open Something?

[branchandroot]

I still hanker for Our Thing. But it also occurrs to me that, if we don't do that, we might want to use something with Open in the title. The whole open-source, open-software movement seems to have the same basic ethos we're aiming for, here, and tapping into that concept could give people an idea, right off, of what this service is about. I'm not sure what would go with the Open, maybe something about words or language or writing.

I like that! All I can think of is OpenPlace, though, and that's a bit silly.

Re: Open Something?

Hrm. Definitely a possibility, because you're right about the open source connection.

Oh, I love the idea of "open" in the name. Maybe openwrite?

Of course, now I've fallen in love with OpenNexus or OpeNexus, which someone suggested in a comment below. *G*
