I believe the issue was that bottom liner metaphorically suggests some kind
of hierarchy or unequal distribution of power / labor.
That said, I am going to include bottom-liner in the poll because I do feel
an argument could be made that it simply suggests someone who is
participating in the foundation building of this project - I just want to
give the community a chance to weigh in / address this issue so that we can
move forward as it's come up again recently.
Love,
Niki

Hey all,
I want to honor the request from some Omni community members that we
replace the word bottom-liner.
Can we collect a list of alternatives and mutually agree to attempt to
replace this phrase / to lovingly and compassionately correct one another
if and when we slip up?
As little as it may seem, this will require a cultural shift for a lot
of us that I'm sure we're all willing to make, but it'll likely take a bit
of time before it collectively takes root.
It would be great if those who take particular issue with this phrase
could put forth their suggestions.
I will collect suggestions and make a poll both online and in the real
world.
Here are some suggestions of mine:
* steward
* curator
* representative
Love,
N
