A number of us sitting together here like "handbook" as well.
I'd like to suggest Design Handbook, rather than Designer's handbook,
because it is for more than just the designers.
Here are the names with more than 1 votes so far:
Design Handbook +5 (Paul, Justin, Anastasia, Colin, Erin, James... and
Blake likes something with "book")
Design Kitchen +2 (Zachariah, Kathy)
Design Guidelines/Resources +3 (Jess, John, Erin)
Yeah, I voted twice.. Is that allowed? :)

How about some variation with "Handbook"
e.g. Usable Design Handbook

It really is more like a set of tools than like a set of guidelines.

I agree. "Toolkit" sounds like exactly that - if Im not interested
in
learning how to use a new "tool" then I would never explore it.
I would miss out on a wealth of research information and guidlines.

Hi Everyone,
As I was reorganizing the Fluid website, I was reminded of the
unintuitiveness(!) of the name "UX Toolkit". Some of the new
members our
team were confused by the name as I was when I first heard it.
General reactions were:
"What is UX?"
"Toolkit sounds like it's something technical. Something developers
would use."
"Toolkit for user experience. What could it be... Is it like
diagrams?"
If I was looking for information on say, "how to do user testing", I
would never think to click on something called "UX Toolkit". We have
great stuff in UX Toolkit, and I think it will be seen and used
more if
the name was more intuitive, perhaps something like "Design
Guidelines".
What do others think?
Erin
