Creativity Required

Too bad Post-It is taken... ;) I had this thought earlier but wasn't sure how to present that here. :)

Yup... Could end up in strife using Post-It, being a registered trademark and all.

I'd go Particles. I think it works.

E-Article Library

Whilst I actually quite like Posted, I think it is a bit hit and miss overall as a singular word.

A place for things valuable.

This raises "vault" as a word also...

It is a pickle trying to find a catchy, yet descriptive single word.

Is there a risk of confusing new users and the easily muddled (like me)? The name needs to suggest that this is the authoritative source of knowledge, as opposed to the shared debate of the forum, being simplistic I'd go for
"Knowledge Base"
or being frillier
" Guru's Views"

Font?

 

[anthony]

It isn't authoritative anything really, there may simply be cited articles within relevant categories. This is why the name needs to be more fitting to its purpose, which will be for a lot of things members want to post not as a thread / post, but as a standalone document.

 

[Sandstone]

so just DataBase?

 

[anthony]

That sparks thought @stenni ... repository ...

Further from @Springer80 from archive... synonyms of such terms:

1. vault
2. depository (a bit long)
3. cache
4. depot
5. bunker
6. tomb

 

[p-no]

From a non-native English speaker's point of view: I think it would be helpful if it were a word generally understood internationally... I have never heard "gizmo" or "The Beat" or "Dabbles" with regard to articles of any kind. Using such a term may be confusing for some on here?!

I really do like "Library" for this purpose.

I also like "Particles" - and "StrEssays" (LOL)... but again, unfortunately it doesn't convey at first sight what it is all about (if you haven't come across this thread).

Newsroom?
