ShapeUniv - SU + easy to say
Agree!
- confusion with SU groups of superstring theory?
Maybe...
- confusion with Soviet Union?
Well, maybe. But since *that* SU has gone and we all know it has, then it's no longer a problem, I think.
DarkEnergy - DE + easy to say
Agree!
- confusion with the name of a neighbouring country?
I see NO problem here! Now, how about merging these two? We have a few options here: 1. DESU. Again it's easy to say but (depending on the pronounciation adopted) it may sound like a French word. ;-) 2. DEUS (dark energy + Universe's shape). Hmmm, "deus" is a latin word which may suggest we are... theologists. 3. SUDE. Better now? [...]
KoperNik - KN
No, please...
- too many things are called Copernicus in ToruĊ & Poland
YES!! (In Torun roughly a dozen.)
- pretentious?
YES!!!
Well, I've spent enough time on this, I'm sure others have some ideas. I'll put "DE" for the moment - we can change this later with a shell script depending on what people choose.
I also vote for "DE". -- Andrzej
