You are right, besides being taken, Fotofolio is too long. I registered Kerfuffl.com, one letter and one syllable shorter. I also now own zompf.com due to our common friend's suggestion Still on the lookout for a name and wishing I'd get a coder of the year award! Thank you for your comment Oneil.

Still on the lookout for a name and wishing I’d get a coder of the year award!

You learn, you gain appreciation for all the others that came before you, etc, yada yada yada. I really just wanted to weigh in on the name. Fotofolio sounds too long. I've checked and what I would have recommended 'fotolio' seems to be taken. What you got to do is scan through a dictionary or favourite book and just choose a word at random. Or write an equation that will pick a word from a number of books. And then you'll have another tidbit story to tell the audience at the Coder of the Year awards.

Though from talking with you on it, I'll just reiterate I'm glad you chose RoR not only for the features offered in the framework, but simply because I understand it as well, hehe :D I'll also agree with you on reinventing the wheel (it certainly gave me a great appreciation for the work done on the CMS I primarily work with, Drupal). Let me know how the work is going on it and unlike the name, I might be able to offer you some suggestions on the code (or just tell you how great you are, hehe ^_^) The name Fotofolio sounds fine to me - its not like Joomla! or the others make any sense (Drupal translates to Drop…I guess you might want to have a logo for your project?) :) Its a shame that someone as uncreative as me is the first to comment on our project.
