I like this name: it's cute, short and memorable. I also like that 'co-' can have multiple meanings (cooperation, coexisting, community, carbon monoxyde).

A quick search for comaps shows a couple different projects already using that name. comaps.de is some kind of map visualization. Using the comaps name could lead to some confusion.

Could you split it up so that it's one name per comment please? To make voting easier

Carbon Maps

[–] Pleat1752@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

A play on organic meaning carbon-based (as in organic chemistry). Also I feel like it should be easy(ish) for speakers of other languages to pronounce. I may be wrong though!

Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)

[–] contrapunctus@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's not bad, but

There might be too many projects named "Delta ___". (...I'm guessing. I can really only think of Delta Chat.)
Is being a fork the only identity of this project? I would rather the name reflect other characteristics... 🤔

Lief Maps

after explorer Lief Erickson

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Alternate spelling of Leaf Maps as well (since most people will mis-hear and type the English word rather than the name) and maybe a leafy Lief is the mascot ;)

[–] CubeOfCheese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait I think I like this better

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's neat, but would cause confusion with https://leafmap.org/

There's MapLibre - a fork of Mapbox before it went full commercial

"There is freedom within, there is freedom without"
"Don’t dream it’s over"

Seems appropriate for an Organic Maps fork 😄

Origami Maps

[–] ooprizrakoo@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'll duplicate it here

Pastk said: cOSMaps (co-OSM-maps) COSMOS Maps (Co-OSM-OpenSource)

And some ideas with the help of AI: COLABMAP (Collaborative Open Libre Access Based Mapping Application Platform) **COMMAP **Community Oriented Modern Mapping Access Project

to be honest, no word makes me completely satisfied.

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:

Free Range Maps

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Moo Maps

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Based on @LilDumpy@lemmy.world 's great suggestion, I thought of the slogan "Grass-fed, free-range, organic, and community-powered maps". And of course a cow for a mascot.
