Ok so let's find a good name.</blockquote><div><br>
my 2 cents:<br>
<br>
I personally think it should emphasize on the idea of *learning* (I
think Squeak needs that: more
programmers/teachers/students/people *learning* to program in
Squeak and do useful things with it) </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">squeakers</blockquote><div><br>
It looks like a club to me not sure if it's about learning. <br>

No strong opinion <br>

Don't like it and doesn't look like *learning* but eventually 'gossiping', maybe in a squeak manner ;)<br>

<div><br>
I tend to like it but maybe 'Squeakers' are 'above' *using* (the users
of) a software. To me Squeak seems more about
'building'/learning/programing than 'using'.<br>
<br>
Personally I quiet like the "tutor" prefix (or any prefix which focus
on *learning* but not on belonging to any kind of select club or
'sect'). As I mentioned before the list 'Python-Tutors' works well and
have been very helpful for me and it begins with a statement which
don't scare beginners : "Tutor -- Discussion for learning programming
with Python".<br>
<br>
Anyway I think the idea is that it should be clear for newcomers that
they are welcome to ask even 'silly'/obvious/abc question in a list
which is designed for that (meaning few threads about hacking the VM or
Bug Reports)<br>
<br>
Whatever the name of the list I think it's a great initiative, thanks :)<br>
