Now that we are discussing the technology that could be used for making a PC sync / backup tool, a "PC suite" for Jolla.

Now, whatever technology we choose, I think we should also come up with more Jolla-like name, which we call it, that fits into the theme!

We already have Harbour, a dry-dock for developers, Sailors, and the Jolla (Finnish for "dinghy") etc., so your suggestion should probably fit in to this theme.

Vote for your favourite, and/or add your own suggestion (please remember to check the "community wiki" box)!

To promote your own suggestion, collect votes, and give everyone an easy overview (to avoid doubles), please link your answer to the end of this list:

@Anna thank you for this poll! The list of the names proposed above does only show about half of the proposed names so far, which is a bit confusing. Please consider to delete it, as it would make it easier for users to scroll through the answers without the space covered by it on each page.

@corneliusg - (it's a wiki, remove the links if you think that's a better solution. I'm the one who added the links, as I thought it would give others an easier way to see the different suggestions, when the suggestions began to cover multiple pages. the idea was for contributors to add an answer-suggestion (as a wiki!) and then add the link to the question-suggestion.)

phle ( 2014-02-11 23:44:01 +0300 )edit

I think it was a bad idea to delete the links. Everyone who was serious about their contribution should have added a link for others to easily access their favorite suggestion and vote for it. Not sure if people go through all answers now. I could add tons of suggestions, but I may not be convinced of all of them myself. So I might add them as an answer but not promote them to collect votes. However, if someone finds a suggestion well worth being promoted, they are welcome to add it to the list.

Also, I'm sure there will be lots of doubles now. Not good to have the links removed at all. This is why I recovered the earlier version and added To promote your own suggestion and collect votes, link your answer at the bottom of this list:. Should be very clear now.

Anna ( 2014-02-12 06:30:47 +0300 )edit

Ok, I've added all suggestions "up til now", and also edited them to a more compact format.

Hopefully this will suit both @corneliusg, and the rest of us who (have actually added our suggestions to the list, and) prefer having all suggestions easily viewable.

Jolla Dockyard

A facility where ships or boats are built and repaired. Routinely used as a synonym for shipyard, although dockyard sometimes is associated more closely with a facility used for maintenance and basing activities, while shipyard sometimes is associated more closely with a facility used in construction.

source: Wikipedia

I think it is preferable to "dock", because as far as I interpret it, a dock is rather passive place (the name should actually be reserved for a docking station then), while "dockyard" actually indicates the the ship is worked on.

I wanted to suggest "Jolla Yard" or "boatyard" or "shipyard" but this one is very much the same.

I already think of it as Jolla's Plank.

Carrying stuff to and from a jolla (dinghy) isn't made with complicated contraptions or marvellous gizmos. It's usually done with something as simple as a wooden plank.

Then we can "walk the plank" :-)

Yep, sure shows how versatile a plank is. ...takes you all the way from the smartphone cradle to a watery grave at the end, aye.

Atolla

image description

image description

Atolla is a genus of crown jellyfish which was proposed by Ernst Haeckel in 1880 and elevated to the family level by Henry Bigelow in 1913.[1] The six known species inhabit mesopelagic zone.[2] The medusae possess multiple (more than 16) lobes called lappets at the bell margin.[2] The number of tentacles and rhopalia is twice as less as the number of lappets.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atolla

However, I thought Atoll would be nice, but Jolla Atolla as the product's full name apparently sounds better. Also, I think there can be done something very good looking about the splash screen and logo with a crown jellyfish.

I like it quite a bit, especially that my childhood nickname is "Ato". Ja nyt minulla on Jolla!

Perhaps not so good for people speaking Thai or Lao as this is very close to "buffalo" in their language and can be used for swearing.

I suggested Treasure Bay or Treasure Island but will not promote them in the entry post. If you prefer one of them feel free to use them as your answer.
