Thanks for all the proposals. I'm starting a new thread to try to give a certain (vague) direction to the research.
Among all the proposals, those who retained my attention were, for now : - Discovery (better than "Find Out"), but was the name of one of Mandriva's products. However, mixed with another term, could work. - share, even if as a single word it probably won't work, too generic I think and likely in use somewhere already. But the concept could be refined (a 2 words name with share in it ? A synonym ?) - agora, or rather "applications agora" or "AppAgora", but to me agora would be the perfect word for a forum. However, with the App prefix or any other word sticked or next to it, it may work. - software portal : simple, easy to understand (no need to explain the meaning), maybe we're looking for too complicated. However, it's already taken by linux mint (which proves it was not a so bad name) : http://www.linuxmint.com/software/ - Kelema : means nothing to most people, even if it does have a meaning, but do we need a name that means something to people ? We could just forge one, but that's not easy. - mageiatheque : I really like this one, but I'm not sure I can use it for a piece of software that will work also with packages or other distributions, and I'm also not sure it will be understood (the -theque suffix may not be well known enough). - packalog, even if I would avoid a name with "package" in it. Here are also some ideas, I'm throwing them to the list to see if they inspire someone :) - Handshake (or it translation in another language if that makes a great word), which symbolises the contact between packagers and users - Forest (or other terms with similar meanings, in english or other languages) : I just like trees, and if you see each application as a tree, then mageia- app-db could be a forest :). Any good idea around nature concepts (especially vegetation) could really please me. - Abondance (french word for abundance), because there are plenty of applications available. In the same spirit : "cornucopia" / "horn of plenty". And my preferred for now : - Applications Galaxy (where each application is a small star in the galaxy). I have a good feeling for galaxy.mageia.org I'm sure there are plenty of unexplored names just waiting for us :) Best regards Samuel Verschelde
