Well it seems we need a new name for wondercafe since staff decided that we would no longer be allowed to use Wondercafe.
What are peoples ideas on this.
I would like a name that would provide some sort of link to the old name.
I would also like a name that reflects the community that we are/ For one we are a community (reflected by the cafe part of the name. And two we like to discuss not only everyday community stuff, but also big picture stuff for which there are no easy answers. (that was reflected in the term wonder)
Also what other things will we need of a non technical nature, or can we just adopt the policies and procedures we have in place now?

WC is 7 years old. That's like 70 in Internet years. I think we're old enough to drink.

There's something appealing about wonderdive actually, but I do think WonderPub is the better name.

WonderPub works for me. Guinness and a game of darts while we hash out the meaning of life.

You want to get Apple's lawyers coming down on us or something?
Actually, I do like it. I'd just be surprised if the domain (iwonder.ca, I guess) would be available given the popularity of i... names these days.

On another direction
WonderPorch
Front light is on
Beer is in the fridge
Kettle is on
There is a rocker or two
A porch swing
Some folks may not wish to be at a pub due to alcoholism or family history. Not sure if a valid concern, feedback appreciated

Saul_now_Paul ..... my goodness you are in a sour mood!!! ... and that seems to be the norm for you.... So negative!!!! ....... is your religion that depressing?
I feel sorry for you ....... I do hope you find a God that can make you happy again.
There is no need to be jealous of our joy and freedom to express ourselves ..... we would gladly share that with you....

Wondercommunity (nah, It doesn't look as good in print)
Actually I like Wonderpub. I also like 'The Porch Swing" - it makes me think of folks sitting around the porch on a warm evening discussing a wide variety of things - some serious, some light-hearted, some concerned, some supportive.
Kind-of like we do on the WonderCafe.

iwonder.ca is, predictably, taken.
iwonder.net is for sale by owner. For the low price of $2,883.03

I was wondering that myself. It comes down to that WonderPub seems a sentimental name that I personally like too, but if we want to attract some new people, should we consider what would attract them?

I feel your pain. I mean, if bible-based bigotry and stupidity is wrong, I don't want to be right, either.

I like that too. Is it true that if the name starts with an A that it will come up more in google when someone does a search for discussion groups? Also, what's the difference between .ca, .com, .org?

No.
Also, what's the difference between .ca, .com, .org?
.ca is for Canadian sites, .com is for "commercial", and .org is for "organization" and was originally for non-profits, but anyone can register a .org now.

I suggested Wonder Cafe Live(s) already. Chansen's WonderCafe2 is cool. Or maybe WonderCafe - the Second Generation. Or Carry On Wonder Cafe? (anyone remember those films Carry On Doctor, Carry on Nurse etc.?)

Part of me says wondercafe2.ca
Because we will be a second edition of wondercafe.ca, wondercafe2.ca seems to be most logical.
wonderpub.ca has the most votes, so far.
My personal preference would be discafe.ca, for Discussion Café, because this what we are about, mostly, isn't it? But I'll readily abide by the majority decision.
