Yes, but that is about choosing the name of the repository.  This discussion 
is about choosing the name for the working team which will discuss setting up 
the repositories!

I would prefer not to constrain the MeeGo Marketing Working Group (or whatever 
they end up being called) in what they want to call the repositories this 
team creates -- we are much better off having a team name which cannot be 
confused with the repositories we will create.  Especially as my view is that 
we will end up with several different repositories with different names (but 
that is a discussion for later!).

The Team name should be something dull.  Personally I would have been happy 
with the Repositories Team (and for the scope to include the Core repos as 
well -- I think we will find it is important to have some consistency between 
the core and the supplemental repos, in things like how many there are, how 
they relate to releases, how they relate to UX's, etc.).  But if others are 
not happy with a converged team, why don't we call this the "Community 
Repositories Team".
