Great! Anyone on this list can nominate names and vote. The more
participation, the better.

I have been watching this project from the side line...
Can I nominate "Ayvitraya"? From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_universe_in_Avatar#The_Tree_of_Souls
"Ayvitraya Ramunong" in Na'vi "is a tree where the Na'vi are able to
communicate with the biological network that exists".

Any objections if I close this list as of 5:00 PM EDT today, and call
the vote then?

We're going to have another round of name selection, based on feedback
from the board. We've also pretty much decided that the last round
did not have sufficient breadth, so here's an open solicitation call
for potential names for the next round.
So hold on to your hats, and throw your suggestions into the ring.
One word of caution. Before offering a name, please do your best to
make sure it meets the following criteria:
(1) It's a single word
(2) It's not a very commonly-used word, or a well-known place; ideally
it's not a word you would find in the OED
(3) It does not have negative connotations
(4) A quick google with it in the context of "open source" shows
nothing
(5) No more than 4 syllables
Here's what we've got so far for this round:
Congo
Connie
Heterolink
Heterosource
Heteroweb
Manicon
Manifolio
Manilink
Maniplex
Manisource
Maniweb
Multicon
Ralph
Reconto
RepoMan
Repositor
Reptile
Some of these don't fulfill the criteria above (e.g. Congo and
Reptile), and may be stricken from the voting list as a result. But
feel free to riff at will... ;-)
