[crossposted to .admin.general & .dear-lego; followups to .admin.general]
Here is a summary of all the group names I've seen mentioned so far in
the current brainstorming session. I listed the names in categories just
for temporary organizational purposes.
NOTE: Most of the names within each category represent mutually exclusive
alternatives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulk purchases
lugnet.dear-lego.bulk
lugnet.dear-lego.bulksales
lugnet.dear-lego.bulk-ordering
Legal issues
lugnet.dear-lego.copyright
lugnet.dear-lego.fairplay
lugnet.dear-lego.legal
Internet issues
lugnet.dear-lego.internet
lugnet.dear-lego.web
lugnet.dear-lego.website
lugnet.dear-lego.www
Elements, sets, themes:
lugnet.dear-lego.element(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.theme(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.set(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.product(s)
Likes, dislikes, etc.
lugnet.dear-lego.complaint(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.dislike(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.like(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.no-thanks
lugnet.dear-lego.problem(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.rant
lugnet.dear-lego.rave
lugnet.dear-lego.thanks
Wishes, suggestions, etc.
lugnet.dear-lego.suggestion(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.suggestion-box
lugnet.dear-lego.wish(es)
Miscellaneous:
lugnet.dear-lego.announce
lugnet.dear-lego.clubs
lugnet.dear-lego.direct
lugnet.dear-lego.event(s)
lugnet.dear-lego.legoland
lugnet.dear-lego.lsahs
lugnet.dear-lego.sales
lugnet.dear-lego.service
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding any others we've forgotten to consider, and boiling that down to a
workable list is the next step.
At this point, I could see one or the other of the following working fairly
well:
1) Subgroups of lugnet.dear-lego:
lugnet.dear-lego.announce
lugnet.dear-lego.clubs
lugnet.dear-lego.events
lugnet.dear-lego.legal
lugnet.dear-lego.rant
lugnet.dear-lego.rave
lugnet.dear-lego.sales
lugnet.dear-lego.sales.bulk
lugnet.dear-lego.www
However, while this works great for subgroups like .rant & .rave, the
"Dear LEGO" portion seems really awkward to me for subgroups like
.announce or .sales.
2) Subgroups of a new hierarchy lugnet.lego:
lugnet.lego.announce
lugnet.lego.clubs
lugnet.lego.direct
lugnet.lego.direct.bulk
lugnet.lego.events
lugnet.lego.legal
lugnet.lego.www
And additionally, either breaking lugnet.dear-lego into
lugnet.dear-lego.rant
lugnet.dear-lego.rave
or just keeping lugnet.dear-lego as it is (was) and not creating new
.rant & .rave subgroups.
Of those two options (and there may still be others), #2 makes more sense
to me, from the following viewpoints:
- More readable/typeable.
- Better fit to the TLC corporate structure.
- Suggests two-way communication better than "Dear LEGO" does.
- Fits upcoming user-group point of view much better, and allows for LEGO
Direct employees participating in LUGNET to act as a sub-community with
a much more meaningful name/URL.
BTW, I'm not 100% clear as to which aspects of LEGO Direct would actually
fall under the LEGO Direct umbrella or under other TLC umbrellae. Legal is
obviously its own separate entity (or collection of sub-entities) but .clubs
and .events might belong under .direct. We'll need some input from Brad on
that one.
Feel free (anyone) to reply to this post and mark up the list, making
suggestions of additions, deletions, or highlighting specific groups with
relative priorities.
