Hey, no knocking country! For names, I since we'll host the kits somewhere on DFA.com, the public name of the website service will be diff. than the name of the dev community (since my sense is that you all want to remain a loose collective doing vol work but not officially on campaign).
Here's the plan from our pov: (1) We host kit service (2) We host the deanster wannabe (talent db, as zack calls it) (3) You (dev com) host yourselves (but you're welcome to be hosted by us) (4) Groups that use the kits host themselves (and are not welcome to be hosted by us cuz then we'd have to be responsible for content, which nobody wants) The naming q could be: (a) about -you- (name of dev. Com) (b) suggestion to the campaign about kit hosting place (c) suggestion to the campaign about the suggestions to the dean community sites about how to brand Seems to me there's a conflation of a, b & c -- inasmuch as they are b & c, I like deanspace fwiw, but I'm not the message guru :) -- will share w/staff. Am I the conflated one, or do I have it right?
