--- Comment #14 from Kevin Rutherford <[email protected]> ---
I would be supportive of the "neweng" thing, but I really don't see there being
a possibility of Nebraska ever having a state chapter. The abbreviation of the
chapter also runs in line with New York (nyc) and the District of Columbia's
(dc) codes, and those are regional entities, not states. The United States is
also a large area, so we can support multiple chapters. At the same time, we
aren't going to have fifty chapters in the future, as that would create a lot
of redundancy and repetition amongst users, as well create areas with a ton of
people and others with virtually none at all. If it is confused for
"Northeast", then let them click and find out, as we encompass an area of the
United States that is referred to as the Northeast, as New York is in the
Mid-Atlantic region. Based on this, it is also preferable to have a shorter
name when most chapters are "wikimediaXX.com" or something like that. The idea
is to make it as short as possible within reason, so that we can utilize it as
best as we can. In terms of renaming, I don't see a reason why we'd even want
to do so, unless we merged with New York City for some reason or added the
Canadian Maritimes, and it is also more of a regional name than NYC or DC, as
we used to be called Wikimedia Boston back in the day.

In terms of the e-mail service, I suppose that could be the case, and we will
explore it later as we have no need for one at this time, since we don't have
officers yet.
