group!) rename all wastebasket, deleted items etc to Rubbish Bin

Nautilus package even if its just a it will do for now fix?

Personally, rubbish bin seems a little raw. But I suppose I could see
what gnome-uk thinks.

Please forgive my bluntness, I think a survey would be an unnecessary
act. It's a simple fact that in the UK, people will refer to it as the
bin, dustbin, rubbish bin or for something to be recycled recycle
bin or [put it in the] recycling which is less common.
In reply to Matthew Paul Thomas, it
I think most native speakers are happy with either Bin or Rubbish
Bin. I'd personally prefer Bin (as I wouldn't really refer to deleted
files rubbish) but Rubbish Bin is fine if we are going with the
waste container metaphor. As mentioned above, gmail uses Bin and that
seems very natural.

Trash is American usage. What gmail uses is dependant on your English
GB/US setting and here we are talking about GB.
I am in support of Mr Borchardt who said that anything bin is too long.
Just bin would be fine if you don't mind the .bin extension.

Yet again we at upstream were not consulted at all. Thanks for putting
yet another nail in the coffin of upstream collaboration.

I completely agree with you. I was just playing devil's advocate :)
Can we agree on Bin then? yes?

Please, just go with Bin. The majority of native speakers in this
thread seem happy with it. Either go with Bin or do a survey (but I'm
almost positive the outcome of such a survey would be Bin).
Gmail uses Bin, and even Microsoft calls it the Recycle Bin in
Windows. Bin is the common GB term,
.bin extensions should be fine.
I don't know relevant here but what about /bin?
I wouldn't want any newbie to do a rm * -r -f /bin thinking he was clearing
the waste.

The only problem I have with bin is that also happens to be the name of the
folder in Unix/Linux where all your commands are stored...DO NOT empty this
bin or your system will lock up!

I don't feel I have the authority to change the terminology without
