    Question Project name suggestions?

    Hi All,
    Im going to be starting a new project @ work and we are looking for some good suggestions for a better name- currenty called Schools Out.

    A bit about the project:
    The project is aimed @ learners (13-16), who for any of a number of reasons cannot attend school, we are developing an environment which allows collaboration and sharing of information and setting of tasks(by mentors or even other users).
    Here are some of the ideas we hope to impliment in phase 1.
    Blogging, Instant Messaging, Forums, SMS Integration, Personalisation(of said environment), Mentor lead tutorials (photoshop, basic programming with processing etc).
    All the students on this program will receive Broadband Connection and a new e-mac. So the running environment is know :-)


    Here's a bit of blurb from the guy in my work who is leading the project:
    "OK, its a bit more complicated than that - the new name should be a verb (thats a doing word - in case you didn't notice, i was being patronising there), and it should try to disguise the learning aspect of this project, but play on the sharing / collaborative / group aspects."


    All suggestions gladly welcome, come on peeps get your grey matter working!!

    Thanks
    AJ

    Schools Out sounds good to me too. If not, how about "Another Brick"?

    Seriously I've had to deal with management types that give this kind of silly want lists (normally full of other fuzzy words) - in the wierd belief they can disguise one thing as another. I generally go for acryonyms (nice fluffy word made up of technical or marketing ones). But can't think of one at the moment - so how about "Team Up!" (urrgh - sickening to even write it)

    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    People will be grateful for a name that isn't:

    1) Patronising.
    2) Reminiscent of 'IBM Speak', i.e. Business Critical, On Demand, 'Schedules Changed Ad'... You get the picture...

    Just make it sound fun, but not technical/administrative.

    New Sig on the Way...

    What did the post before you say?

    And yes, I think skool's out is fine, but I think it should be spelt "skool" just to make it more "fun" and sort of text messagy like.
