Manino is still too close IMO. Indaba is pretty good, although it's more business than just social communication. Short and sweet though, and has a good feel to it.

Hey "elkarte" is Basque for community. That's nice and short. Everyone will mispronounce it but that doesn't matter (except it will piss the Basques off and give the something to lecture us about). elkarte.com is taken but anything else is available.

ETA: Bugger. GoDaddy search sux. .org is taken too.

Basque is cool. It's the only non-Indo-European language in the area, and is not related to any other existing languages. They think it has been around since way back when.

Kusema. To speak, to say phrases.

kusema.org, kusema.net available.

okeme - a rarely used name for the same musical instrument as above (marimba)

Kering.

( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Indonesian_Swadesh_list )1
It literally means 'dry', where DRY is an acronym for Don't Repeat Yourself. (associated with extreme programming movement since proposed in this form by its initiators)

1We need a nice idea for these URLs in parantheses. 95% of usecases are with the intention to simply enclose an URL in parantheses. Detect if a paranthesis is open, and space/tab/enter after it? Just throwing it out before I forget, sorry :D
The best moment for testing your PR is right after you merge it. Can't miss with that one.

Love it! It has the musicality of Italian or Spanish to me. :)
elkarte.net is available.

I think though, that 'elkarte' is also a bit more 'professional' or 'business' than social communication:

My nightly additions:

Juntar -- Portuguese for join or gather (net and org)
Junya -- Cornish for join (org)
Knowa  This is taken but made me laught a bit, it Cornish for "gather nuts"

Then I was trying variations of nest as in building, etc and came across Kioto and Kiota but those were taken so I
tried
Kiote as a play on words (coyote) and it was available (net and org).  In American Indian lore, coyotes are Intelligent, Clever, and Creative / A fire-bringer and Teacher / Helpful and Cooperative / Flexible and Adaptable

Quoteelkarte.net is available.
Elkarte is not bad at all ... not sure it rolls of the tongue but I could get used to it I guess.

Good database of names for ya (without a wanted "zuper-relevant meaning"):

Fun names, exotic names, good sounding.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melong
that word
Melong
is also an Australian Aboriginal word for a water deity that is the giver of law and order

"The figure of Melong, the spirit of darkness, appears in five story-maps and is composed entirely of curved lines in association with specific magic symbols. Placed centrally in the ‘Mooging’ story-map, the Melong's function in this story is enlightenment"

Of all the suggestions so far, "Melong" sounds actually quite good, and doesn't remind you of anything else.(except Mekong maybe, but not so much either). I would vote for Melong. :D
