I have committed to the whole ‘storytelling’ that surrounds The Forgers Guild, and suggested the Smithy (smithy.town and smithy.tools domains ) name for that. Forgefriends would be a very good fit in the overall branding theme of “forging free software”. You need a lot of friends to forge (which e.g can be connection points to FSDL, Social Coding and broader Free Software community).
I will help you find a new name, should the decision for a donation be made.
Also, related, I’ve come to the insight that one of the tasks of a Guild is to be custodian of a guild brand, and give all its members full access + help to take any optimal position within that framework. Brands are not just gloss, they are strategic assets. For FOSS no different than anywhere else.
One suggestion… I mentioned on fork or federation chat today (can’t remember which): Codesmith
→ Of course that name also might mean, forgefriends not donated and “Smithy” (or whatever is chosen) Community uses Codesmith.
