I think that's a very good point, Jay!

Whoops. Yup, that's a killer.

"ATP Swaps" is concise and accurate ... but not fun.

I like SWATPS

How is this pronounced?

Yeah!

Big black vans with jack-booted gardeners.

We pull up in front of a house, or Zipline down from helicopters, shower the dwellers with seeds, and zoom away with a
"Hi-Ho, SWATP, awaaaay!"

I knew that a TLA would be no fun, but look what you did with an FLA!

(Three Letter Acronym & Five Letter Acronym)

the "t" must be silent??

Maybe we could do "SWAPT" -- if Dave could change the name of the site to "All Plant Things"

Horntoad said:The problem I see with calling it Dave's Swaps is that each swap is would be run by and individual who may not do a very good job. Would Dave want his name on a swap that went bad. It seems like that would reflect badly on him even though he was not involved.

I was thinking "SWAT-Pea", like "Sweet pea".

But perhaps we're getting silly. Who would ever do that?

If we want to generate more traffic to this website we might consider:
All Things Plants Seed Swap - hosted by (name)

Specialized swaps can just add the descriptive word:
All Things Plants Tomato Seed Swap - hosted by (name)
All Things Plants Vegetable Seed Swap - hosted by (name)

Here on ATP we know what ATP means, but out in the wide world the potential new members don't yet know the abbreviation. Let's help them find their way to our favorite website.

I do think we can come up with something catchier (shorter) to use eventually, but for now, if we can't come up with something, maybe the simple "All Things Plants Seed Swaps" will work and "Swaps" can be used internally. We don't to have have it figured out by the first official (i.e. non-beta) swaps. We'll get there.

That doesn't mean stop the idea-generation, though! I like the ideas being thrown in the ring...we'll eventually find one that works, for sure.
