perhaps change the order too.. i'd say "discussions, tips and resources"

(is it possible to edit the poll options without resetting it?)

Don't know :-/

Ultimately brainstorming is a part pf a process to get to an answer. Can't brainstorm forever. These were the ones that people seemed to like and didn't have much to say against them. One thing that came up a lot was the desire to be inclusive and not to scare people away. Even option 1 might not be ideal as, as others have pointed out, not everyone is starting out from their mother tongue.

Did not say to brainstorm forever (did wonder why no deadline was set for the brainstorming). Do not see why even seconded ideas are not being included here. Do not see the need for you to filter out any single idea before we voted. Do feel the other contestant's disappointment.

Note that the poll is on until Tuesday

15:01 forum time. Which I think is GMT.

I don't think any of those 4 choices come even close to what this forum is about. Maybe we should have a poll where we can vote AGAINST each of them. If there are a lot of votes against them, then a more comprehensive process can be used to select a tagline. We might even find that we would prefer to have no tagline rather than one that is not very good.

We aren't voting to build a temple of granite. : It can always be changed. In fact someone suggested changing it periodically, which might be a really good idea. Companies often change taglines, no reason we can't either.

After we pick one of these four options, we can start a new thread for the next tagline in 6 months time? Or three months?

... with a voting period of at least 7 days so both weekday users and weekend users get to vote.

Either number 1 or number 4. Keep things simple.
