The current proposal is:
  The project is an Association who has added a JobSite module.
  Maybe others guys develop others modules later.

So, I think the above name does not fit.

It could be good for a GNU jobs site, but, as exposed above, the project is an 
Association who has added a JobSite module.

My personal opinion is that the word 'herds' fit with the Association nature 
of the project.

Being similar to "GNU Hurd" is the only bad point which I know right now. 
Anyway, I think it can be even good, due to people think:
  ah, that is Hurd,
  and later, when we got more main stream, they will think, ah,
  that is not Hurd but Herds.

Note the gnuherds.org domain has been added to bookmarks, and several very 
known sites.

P.S.: As usual, we can follow talking about this subject.
