I don't know. It looks like the input has tapered off. I did not even spur a flame when I asked people to get busy. You did say that (loosely) "When input tapers off I will collate the list and put it to a vote." You have taken the lead. This may seem undemocratic. I propose to you that collate the list (of branding names at least) now put it to a vote and keep the current momentum. You can't please all of the people all of the time. This effort is unlike "-hackers" where people have technical reasons for doing things. This one effort can set a precedent for -advocacy. Once a precedent is established, the infrastructure is in place, then we can really make it happen.
