1) Collozeum
I'd go for this one.
I really like how it contracts words for several aspects of this
project! However, gladiatorial contests -- the purpose of the place
which Collozeum points to (i.e., Colosseum) -- such contests should
have nothing to do with our intentions for this project ;-)
Being the "Kulturbanause" I am, I didn't know Gillikin before.
To me, it sounds a bit like the "ingroup" language frequently
found in the Mac world that leaves others wondering "what are
they talking about now again?". Also, it has too many "i"s. ;-)
Now, programming language communities speak "ingroup-languages"
anyway ;-) I just very much like the name of our language -- Oz. The
wizard of Oz does great magic. In the end, however, he concedes that
it's all a great "humbug", and that the means which he uses are
pretty much down-to-earth things. Still, his magic works! So, I at
least would like to have a name which is somehow related to the Oz
story (like the name Gump for Oz' front-end generator, http://
www.waltdisneysreturntooz.com/Gump.htm). Concerning the
"Kulturbanause", I must confess that I didn't know the proper name of
the place Gillikin either (I only knew it as the "purple country"
before).
Also, it has too many "i"s.
:) I actually like these "i"s -- sounds like a bunch of people
hammering in some small manufacture. We are talking about "the most
industrially developed region in the Land of Oz"...
Best
Torsten
