We need YOUR Help/ideas to re-name this Organisation! (Please share name ideas in the GitHub issue!) #1

DocDis was not our first choice when created this organisation. ("all the good names were taken" ...) We chose DocDis because it's short for Docendo discimus, (Latin "by teaching, we learn" - which we quite like the idea of...). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docendo_discimus

we need a name that conveys what the organisation is (a collection of coding tutorials) in a word (or pair of words) that people can pronounce. The name has to be available as a GitHub username (so we can re-name https://github.com/docdis to https://github.com/newnamehere) and preferably as a domain too... (check on https://domainr.com preferably the .com should be available but we can go with .org)

any/all suggestions are much appreciated (the shorter the name, the better).

teachlearncode? it's free on gh pages, plus you'd get a cool acronym (TLC)

+1 for teachlearncode > TLC :+1:

Unfortunately, teachlearncode is a bit long and less than obvious to be read by those unfamiliar with the name. That could be addressed with teach-learn-code, though I dislike having to type dashes in urls.

A similar alternative, tlcsite is available in .net and .io (not .com or .org). tlc-site is available in .com, .org, .net and .io.
