In general, it's not great to refer to people as nouns.  It's better to say
people with an adjective, so the person isn't replaced or given just one
identity.  I support not calling people coders or other noun.

Between September and November of 2008, the title attribute of the
Code4lib homepage was changed from "code4lib | Code for Libraries" to
"code4lib | coders for libraries, libraries for coders".

Dave Winer, who could be considered the inventor of the blog, recently
tweeted about us:

"code4lib: coders for libraries, libraries for coders. (I really hate the
word "coders.") code4lib.org <http://code4lib.org/>"

As someone who feels that Code4Lib should welcome people who don't
particularly identify as "coders", I would welcome a return to the
previous
title attribute.
