I also
think that any mascot we choose should reflect the fact that we are a
cooperative, social project, in other words, it should be a social
animal or insect. Dolphins, whales, ants, bees etc. all work nicely.
Leming (or rather a herd of lemings)
Lemmings aren't social at all. I personally nominate the leaf-cutter
ant. They're both cooperative and inventive--they invented agriculture
long before humans did, and are a model of cooperative productivity.
