In general, it's not great to refer to people as nouns. It's better to say people with an adjective, so the person isn't replaced or given just one identity. I support not calling people coders or other noun. -Wilhelmina Randtke On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 9:42 AM, Eric Hellman <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Between September and November of 2008, the title attribute of the > Code4lib homepage was changed from "code4lib | Code for Libraries" to > "code4lib | coders for libraries, libraries for coders". > > Dave Winer, who could be considered the inventor of the blog, recently > tweeted about us: > > "code4lib: coders for libraries, libraries for coders.
