I think the intention is that these will just be some base instances of GNU Social to provide a foundation of servers to work with, not the entire social network per se (in the same way that identi.ca isn't the only StatusNet server). We wouldn't require people to use names from this list.. We still expect (and encourage) people to install their own instances of GNU Social once the alpha/subsequent versions are released.

Would that be for the "official servers", or for what?

I think that the user shouldn't have to pick a server among those within an organisation, so you would pick who should provide you the services rather then a server (such as picking Gnu, not foobar10.gnu.org <http://foobar10.gnu.org>). I'm not sure if this list of server names would be useful. I don't think that a lot of the server owners would use this name list.

We're compiling a list of names that may be used as titles for seperate
GNU social servers. So rather than telling people to use one centralized
server, they can choose between hundreds of independently run servers.
