I LOVE boxtrot. Let's get a group asap as the posts are spread all
over... Forget the mail part as it's not a given that boxes will move
via mail. Actually it's not a given that the pieces will move in boxes.

So I vote for mixorama. or boxtrot, what I just said notwithstanding.

Can this project have a newsgroup?

Sure, I don't see why not -- if there's enthusiasm toward it and if a
sensible name could be picked.  It certainly belongs in the .market.*
hierarchy as it's purely an aftermarket person(s)-to-person(s) trading
thing.

I'll toss out a few random ideas off the top of my head...

  .market.boxmixer
  .market.boxtrot
lol

  .market.mailathon
  .market.mailmix
  .market.mailorama
  .market.mailswap
  .market.mailtrade
  .market.mixorama
.market.mix-o-rama
        (variation, just because I like the hyphenated look with orama :)

  .market.swaporama
  .market.travelmix

...any of those getting close?  Other possibilities?

.market.trailmix (sounds copyrighted though..)
.market.taplap (take a piece leave a piece)
.market.piecemail
.market.bricksalad

I wonder if anything like this has ever been done before for other hobbies.
I can't help thinking that this sort of thing must already have a name.

Maybe so. It almost sounds like something done with CrackerJacks' prizes.

The boxtrot is okay, but somtimes I have trouble figuring out the beat;-) All seriousness aside, I like mix-O-rama, but capitalizing the "O":-) -John (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I like .market.boxtrot too because it conveys what's going on more accurately than most of the other names. But something more generic might fit in better. Note that all of the other .market names -- .auction, .buy-sell-trade, .shipping, (...) (25 years ago, 10-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.admin.general)
