[Registry-dev] Product name and color theme

[Glen Daniels]

Hi folks!

Sorry for not responding sooner to this thread...

I am *strongly* -1 to "Social Registry" or "Community Registry" - I 
think both of these are clunky to say, and they sound like it's a 
product to record things like wedding gifts or club affiliations.

A couple of other ideas:

Fulcrum (underneath everything and gives you leverage :))
Depot (I like this as it implies not only storage but people)

I agree with Deepal, short and sweet is much better and "WSO2 Registry" 
is fine for a start if we can't settle on one of the other names.

Thanks,
--Glen
