Thnks for taking into consideration our opinion, JP.
We can't make it without each other.
Agree with Franc and Pia according renaming .
Let's just keep our 'old' website name and all of it.

Oh, Thanks JP, it's a very good news! Me too I agree with you about the name of the new and I loved Francky's slogan: " For those who are in a hurry no matter the quality! It sounds rhyming!

I hope our site will exist through many years and we'll all be here, together, even after a long time

Two English corrections:

1) "let him hear the same ring a bell" doesn't mean anything in English. What did you mean to say?

2) "For those who are in a hurry no matter the quality" is perfect English, but it doesn't rhyme.

My two cents (= opinion):

If you're going to create a new site, JP, I think most of us would be happiest if you would give it a completely different name - not cucumis at all - maybe another Latin vegetable or fruit, that's easier to get and less complex, like apple or pear?

Ahah, yes NewCucumis was just a code name. I should use another name. Hard to find a short name that is not already taken, by the way...

But that has no meaning. How about cerce.org? Cerce was the sorceress who lured sailors to their deaths in the Odyssey. She turned a bunch of them into pigs, as I remember.

Yeah - you're right. I was wondering that as I read my own post.

Unfortunately, though, circe.org exists (but cerce.org doesn't).

Why is CY see you? Wouldn't that be CU?

no, CU is limited
because see you can have many derivatives, like c ya
So Y is more representative than U
and Y is the original letter of U.

I would suggest "Citrullus.org" especially since "citrullus" really means a "watermelon"..

BTW
I'd say "Cucumis" is not a correct name for the fruit, because: "Cucumis is a genus of twining, tendril-bearing plants in the Cucurbitaceae family ..." (wiki)

Only "Cucumis melo" = watermelon
Meanwhile:
"Cucumis sativus" = cucumber
"Cucumis metuliferus" = horned melon
etc.

Best wishes!

I like pluiepoco's first proposal *cercer* According to Wiktionary it means: 'to search/ seek/ loook for' (in Old French)

Another suggestion: reverse the letters in Cucumis (Simucuc ) ... though don't think it means anything!

Ahah, yes finding a name is always hard and fun. There are so many .com names already taken, but there is more space in .org.

I had forgotten that "cercer" means to search - like chercher in French. That's a really good one, then.

There is an open source solution that looks very good here : http://support.lampcms.com/

I could tweak it a bit to adapt to translations (like adding languages informations in quesiton and answers). I think more and more that it would be a nice idea, but I need time to do so.

Kukumi is nice and is available. But the .com is not avaialble. I try to use .com now, not .org.
Acutally the name is the most important thing to find.
what about kikaki.com ?

You can test availability on whois.net

[edit] Oh I forgot this open source soution too that is really good http://www.question2answer.org/qa/activity

cucuqa.com is avaialble too which means cucu(mis)q(question)a(answers) cucuQA actually
Like also qiqaqi.com
