This is getting somewhere--now if we can come up with a positive,
rather than negative name, we'd be perfect.
Pretty much the best kinds of project names are ones that are either
expressly positive (i.e. their name assumes good faith, doesn't create
an us/them dichotomy), or failing that are ironicly ugly (like
"bureaucrat", "benevolent dictator", or "spelling nazi" or
"mediation
cabal").
Well, for the record, I?m working wit ha few people on [[WP:CUV]] (NOT CVU)
not looking for repalce CVU, since that is NOT our goals, but rather
to provide an alternate venue and central resource without the
fighting imagery
