The Ode to CryptoCeps:

Bouncer: "No, I'm sorry. This is a restricted area..." *checks around in case there's a problem*

Me: " 'cep I got this..." *hands over teensie tiny tasty little mushoom*

Note to self: 'did I eat one of those???' *can't seem to recall the particular moment. Oh@*

Community: *looking sideways at each other* "What the hell is a mushoom?"

Thank You! so much.

Hi,

On the names side, I would advice some kind of unique combination, for example "Jupyter notebook", works fine to find particularly the project this community is trying to build. In my own case, I spend a lot of time thinking in names and I discuss them with friends with a drink or a meal. Despite of not having a strong web presence in the sense of continuous updates in the web pages of my projects (my main web page is still under construction!) they position relatively well on google and DDG engines:

[1] https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=es&q=grafoscopio (5th link) [2] https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=es&q=mutabit (1st link) [3] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mutabit&t=ffsb (1st link) [4] https://duckduckgo.com/?q=grafoscopio&t=ffsb (2nd link)

It didn't happen overnight but was a fluid organic process. So may be "Mushroom crypto" or "Risotto crypto" could be important descriptors in the main web presence sites of your projects (BTW, I can't find the repos and GitHub answers with 404).

Cheers,

Offray

Ben, Huw, Todd and Sven, thank you all for your feedback! I suppose I could call the project "CryptOCaps" but for some reason I glommed onto mushroom as the name. Not grandiose and it is somewhat descriptive...a network of secure sessions, each one a mushroom. Ceps are highly valued. We can tag it for the catalog.

For sure, we have Seaside, Morphic, Nebraska, Fuel, Alien, Cog, Monticello and that's just the squeak side of unusual naming of projects. I hope that "mushroom" gains a wide reputation as a solid, reliable, secure and performant session layer under the CryptOCaps presentation...I am thinking of splitting the secure session layer from the ocaps presentation layer, but this would require another name choice, so I hesitate...perhaps "Risotto"? What are your thoughts?

Best, Robert

I like it, but it seems you missed my point :) mushroom --> 117,000,000 is two orders of magnitude more hidden. Anyway, maybe I overplay its significance. cheers -ben

I renamed the project to Mushroom and I also dumped the encoding work to focus on shutdown, optimization and serialization. Here's the wiki: https://github.com/SqueakCryptographySquad/Mushroom/wiki

thanks,Robert

I think maelstruum is certainly memorable with the double "u", but maybe jarring next the the "m". I'm inclined to maelstroom, since I associate it with "zoom". I wouldn't necessarily go for the absolute lowest results. I have an entirely unsubstantiated belief that anything less than 10,000 gives a reasonable chance to compete once a user's browsing history is taken into account. Finally you need to check existing results don't return something abhorrent (I didn't do this).

I'd encourage to play around testing on google search. Its quick and easy to generate and test alternatives. I've added a few more below. "maelstra" --> 3,560 "maelstram" --> 504 "maelstrim" --> 1200 "maelstroon" --> 58 "maelstroomi" --> 4

btw, I wouldn't swap the order of the "ae" since that would be susceptible to real typing errors.
