Considering "Community" is THE OpenACS superset it makes sense for it to show up in this context. Don's suggestion (Community Subsite) fits well (and it might even satisfy all the community subsets taking part in this thread right now 😉.

P.S. I had a similar terminological crisis a while back

with little result (other than a little personal clarity).

First of all, the "historical" "potential nomenclature confusion" mentioned in http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/*checkout*/dotlrndoc/www/doc/nomenclature.adp?rev=1.3&root=dotlrn must be resolved which can still be seen in messages like dotlrn.Join_A_Group .

Furthermore, I think it is not useful to try and totally ignore the competitor SharePoint where "subsite" is a central concept.
