The 'Host Naming Well' is a place where you can make suggestions for host names. This will provide the Joyent staff with a naming resource should they choose to use it.


Contents

Administrative Requirements (technical needs detailed by staff members)

(to any Joyent staff person reading this, please replace this italicized text with any real requirements you can think of. here are some examples of what 'Administrative Requirements' might be: names must be in good taste, ideally a pool of names for the Accelerators will accommodate 1000+ Accelerators, names can not exceed 10 characters)

Potential Names

Include who made the suggestion in parentheses. Following this is the number of additional folks who also like that particular suggestion.

If you want to indicate that you like something someone else suggested simply increment the number after their suggestion by one. Do not decrement the totals as this will make the scoring useless. Vote for as many names as you like but only once for each one.

NOTE: do not vote for a particular entry if you already indicated your support for someone's suggestion in this thread http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=15197 since your vote was added when this page was created.
