I really like where this is going, and I’m super excited! We use this feature extensively on our forum, for multiple purposes.
I think so, yes. We’ve had our forum for almost 10 years now, its official title contains “Discussion Forum”, and it is still regularly referred to as the discussion boards. This would cause a ton of confusion.
ehhhhh, I don’t know about that, to be honest. Definitely to more tech minded people, and perhaps people who perform their labor largely on a computer, but outside of that it’s not been my experience that it’s a term known much at all.
I don’t know if I have helpful suggestions on the name. We use it not only for planning projects but also as an approval & workflow pipeline for requests, so “projects” doesn’t quite fit, but maybe it does for most others.
Honestly after seeing the plane icon I thought of “boards” as “strips” because my brain is weird, it made me think of landing strips, and how the cards travel from strip to strip in order to reach their final destination.
