I'm planning to build a community for web developers. For something
comparible see http://www.penington.org/html/residents.html, which is
a community for Quakers. Mine will be similar to theirs, simply
smaller (at first) and geared towards webheads instead of Quakers.

My question is this: what would YOU name a place like this?

Clarification of Question by severisth-ga on 14 Jan 2005 14:43 PST

Great responses!!

pinkfreud hit the nail on the head with Silicon Alley. Not only is
that a great name for what I'm describing, but it is even more fitting
because:

A) This will be in New York City, where "alley" is a good description
for the feel of most streets

B) The term Silicon Alley is used to describe any dotcom in the New
York City area, according to this site:
http://www.mywiseowl.com/articles/Silicon_Alley. How perfect is that?

It doesn't have the power of HTMLwonder's available domain name, the
history of Berners-Lee House, or the humor of Fred. But in all other
categories, it seems to be the winner. PinkFreud, if you're reading
this, please post your comment as the official answer!

Thanks everyone!

severisth,

Thank you very much for accepting my suggestion, "Silicon Alley." I
wish you the best of luck with your haven for web developers.

Don't let any of 'em con you: Beware of geeks bearing grifts. ;-)

Best regards,
pinkfreud

Thanks pinkfreud!

I'll be sure to be cautious :P

Potters Field

- Hammer

How about naming it for the inventor of the Web (with his permission I suppose):

Berners-Lee House

Hammer, why Potter's Field? The only reference I could find for that
phrase is a graveyard for people who are unknown.

<<<Hammer, why Potter's Field? The only reference I could find for that
phrase is a graveyard for people who are unknown.>>>

Exactly. *grin*

The place where one expects to find the poor and unknown. That does
describe a pretty large percentage of web developers. *wink*

- Hammer

And did Hammer get the Silver Medal for coming 2nd?

I do hope so.
