We're merging 3 sub-teams in 1 so what 'other' names do you have in mind? :)

Is it really necessary to worry about the name? I mean, it is enough for us
to understand what each sub-team is for and we can simply translate the
idea into words and update our Wiki ;)
So, I am not sure what 'other names' should we use?

If you, for example, read the description of:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-artmark

To rename a launchpad team with a mailing list, I need to remove the
mailing list and redo the entire thing. I don't mind but I see no 'good'
reason for that, IMHO. But then again, if you guys think the name is a high
priority then sure :)

Just for everyone's information:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-artmark vs “Ubuntu GNOME Artwork &
Marketing” team

It is a click away to rename the 2nd name, which is a label (Ubauntu GNOME
Artwork & Marketing team) but to change the first one
(~ubuntugnome-artmark), you need to remove the mailing list (if any) and
then rename it.

Again, if you see we 'must' do that, I'm more than happy to do it :)

That is why I chose "Human Development" :)

And here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2015-August/003393.html

The Human Resources (AKA Recruiting) is suggested to be done within each
sub-team. Since we have created and added the Ubuntu GNOME HR Sub-Team:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugnome-hr

We have never done anything, really.

I am trying to re-explain why I have suggested that on the first place.

IMHO, it is better.

The human development team can help the newcomers + the existing members to
master new skills and add more experience to what they have.

Again, I am more than happy to accept any feedback but I thought it is
better to re-explain why I am doing all this :)
