First off, I meant to say that the homepage is [[meta:Wikimedia 
Pennsylvania]], not "Philadelphia". That was an error on my part.

The mailinglist and the IRC chatroom were sort of set up already before we 
considered potential overlap. If those two things are easy enough to rename, 
I think it would be perfectly fine to do that. It's worth some serious 
consideration before we settle on anything final, because any patterns that 
we set now could possibly be copied 50 times (assuming all 50 states get a 
chapter).

If there are any good suggestions about how, precisely, we should label 
things, they would be very welcome.
