Preferred terminology we should standardise on?

I would have liked a #bikeshedding option
Bikeshedding aside, this can be objective. I still donāt really care, but it can be.
āDiscussā is an abbreviation used in the url, happens all the time with other stuff, and shouldnāt be indicative of the actual name.
āDiscourseā is the name of the software being used, and so if we just use that name things could get awkward in the future if we ever change to some other forum code. Tight coupling bad.
āDiscussion forumā is what this place actually is.
Itās just a question on how we should self reference this forum either when chatting informally or in any future guides/official docs.
All choices could be equally correct in one way or another.
I held off asking for a while but suddenly a third contender appeared
āDiscussion forumā has been rolled out by @rundll everywhere except the URL which is an abbreviation and doesnāt need to be changed.
Closing the polls since itās been decided. ^^
Soā¦
Discussion Forum = Correct Title
Discuss = Accepted Abbreviation
Could we please have the title changed to āPPAU Discussion Forumā so that the tab title doesnāt truncate in Browsers
Iāve reversed the order of the discussion forums site title.
The short form Party name is not a good idea for reasons.
My energy for this topic is spent. Itās really pretty outside here in Hobart today, might be time for a beer.
Iāll go along with that
