qqwet Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 So, I'm working on a website. This website has something to do with donations, it should make it possible to donate to different projects/people by mean of a single transaction, thus reducing transaction fees, and allowing to freely make lots of small donations to different "receivers". This idea was born for open source projects, but could probably be applied to other fields. The point is: we need a name for the website. ??? Central ideas: open source (the website will be "open source" as well) community donations ( ) Our last idea was "Donation Basket", another one was "United Donations" (I don't like it very much...); maybe "Donation hub", or "Open donations" (doesn't make much sense...). Don't be shy, any idea or comment on existing names is much appreciated. We are all italians in the team so we don't even know how to correctly put the words togheter, any help is very welcome Random words that maybe could be used: aggregator, gathering, team , bunch, assemble®, collect, huddle, crowd, mob, crew gratitude, giver...

fabrydesign Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Dough Bin comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I like the sound of 'donation hub' actually. Has a nice ring to it. Other ideas could include: - Donation Bin - Communi-Share - Source Aid - Donate Now or I'll break you legs! // just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqwet Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I am all for open source... but can you make is OS and secure? Probably it'll be more secure if made open source than otherwise... There are lots of white-hat hackers that can help us discovering security holes in time ( see firefox...), furthermore all transactions are made by paypal, so they're as secure as paypal is. Personally i think that making it open source is also important from the "transparency" point of view. As for the names it would be nice if you could tell me which one's your favorite (or make a small chart) ps: i like the break-you-legs thing, it souds pretty straightforward and persuasive...

nrg_alpha Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ps: i like the break-you-legs thing, it souds pretty straightforward and persuasive... lol, I don't think many people would fall for it though. Besides, it would make for a long URL: http://www.donatenoworillbreakyourlegs.com As for names, my personal favorites (listed so far in this thread) are as follows in order: - Donation Hub - Source Aid - Donation Bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Any three-letter domain name with a popular TLD will be really expensive... People just purchase them in case it might be a useful abbreviation for somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Offtopic: Isn't it against ICANN rules to do that though? I thought it was against the rules to hold a domain to resell at a higher value. I know people do it all the time, but I thought I read somewhere it was a no-no. (Found it: here - but it is only against trademarks and such) I think: dontationcrew.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 FreeDonations.com ? Isn't that a little redundant? I like either of these three: - Dough Nation - Donation Hub - Donation Bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maq Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 lol, what, did you just buy the domain name right now? nah just kidding It's taken anyway... although the following are available: doughnation.info doughnation.tv doughnation.me doughnation.mobi doughnation.biz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqwet Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Doughnation is already taken, but anyway i didin't like it a lot. By the way I have another question: how would you call the person/organization who receives a donation? Receiver? Recipient? Donee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 What do you mean call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 how would you call the person/organization who receives a donation? Receiver? Recipient? Donee? What do you mean call? Hmmm.. perhaps 'beneficiary' or 'charity case'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Oh, lol, your wording confused me. I believe the most appropriate terms would be either, 'recipient' or 'beneficiary'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Oh, good call on 'recipient'. Other options according to dictionary.com using their thesaursus: almsperson, assignee, devisee, donee, grantee, heir, heiress, inheritor, legatee, payee, possessor, receiver, recipient, stipendiary, successor 'stipendiary'? *Almost* sounds like someone who is legendary at being stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqwet Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 What do you mean call? I was thinking about using two login boxes, one for donors and one for "receivers". Inside the first one i'd write something like: " I'm a donor, and i want to see my donation basket " But I really dont' know what to write in the other one... like " I'm an organization, and I want to see how donations are" ... "Organization" wouldn't be the best because it could be a single person as well, and I'm not even sure about the "how donations are" part, it sounds very wrong to me...

"Organization" wouldn't be the best because it could be a single person as well, and I'm not even sure about the "how donations are" part, it sounds very wrong to me... How about: - "I'm a recipient; how are the donations being used?" - "I'm a recipient and I'm inquiring about how donations are used." or my fav: - "I'm a recipient; do I have enough to retire?"

qqwet Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 How about: - "I'm a recipient; how are the donations being used?" - "I'm a recipient and I'm inquiring about how donations are used." mmm, I don't get it. If you are the recipient, you should know what you are using the donations for, right? or maybe this phrase has another meaning which I don't undertand??

nrg_alpha Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 mmm, I don't get it. If you are the recipient, you should know what you are using the donations for, right? I was going off what you initially wrote: " I'm an organization, and I want to see how donations are" ... So I figured what you meant by that example was, 'since I am a recipient, I am curious as to how the donations are spread out / spent'. Perhaps I misunderstood you?
