A bit less far-fetched, we could use "communication team" or something
similar, promoting Mageia and communicating about it being probably
the main purpose of the three teams that we want to merge together.

I agree with Sebastien's comment that "atelier" would be hardly
understandable for those who are not implied in the Mageia project and
for new contributors. But if it's a little nickname which purpose is
to be simpler than "Marketing, communication and design team" and
easier to put in the name of a ML, I find it good :)

If it's a nickname and we want something closely-related to magic, I
am pretty sure we can find a lot of ideas such as "scroll",
"grimoire", "alambic" (= "still" in English)... but it may take quite
some time to reach a consensus on which name sounds greater and so on;
I think Romain's idea was that the name should be chosen quickly to be
able to create the team without delay (i.e. creating the ML, and so
on).

I'd be glad to participate, but I definitely can't lead the project. I
lack time and knowledge to be a real asset in this new team, but I
have been helping a bit with artwork (and a really tiny bit with
marcom), and I look forward to assisting Romain with the website; I am
not a web developer but I have some notions and I might be able to
learn a few things to be of help (such as generating .lang files from
the static EN pages).
