[wsfii-discuss] Currency Name

Thu Sep 22 06:39:17 UTC 2005

Dear Folks
I just joined the list.  I'm trying another address, as 
mary at letslink.org often bounces.
The London-wide currency is called "Links" - you could temporarily 
adopt that if
you want a generic currency.  But if you want a geeky one, then Nodes 
sounds good.
Nothing the matter with Credits, but it's not very sexy - and it's 
also used elsewhere.

However, the local currency is called "Limes".  If you are going to 
involve local food
outlets mightn't it confuse them if you call it something other than 
Limes?  Because
although you might think it's a one-off, wouldn't it be a good chance 
to familiarise
the local vendors with the Lime name?  See here, we've got the 
artwork partly designed:

I think the equivalent decision has yet to be made for the Bethnal 
Green thing this
weekend . . . and similar issues will apply there too . . . I'll try 
to find out their ideas?
Copying in Alan and Dave, who will be involved there.
