moor was always meant to be provisional.

That it's written in Rust is frankly ephemeral to the overall goals, so the 'r' suffix is silly. Plus "moor" is an (historical) ethnicity, it just has a bit of an odd tone to it.

I would like to change the name pre-1.0.

Should evoke:

Yes, this is LambdaMOO compatible.
It will not be restricted to that going forward.
It's more about: networked, transactional shared authoring environment.

Open to suggestions.

Spitballing:

If we treat Lambda as a letter of the Greek alphabet rather than the name of the author, we could step that forward or backwards to KappaMoo, Mumoo (like the garment?), Numoo, or Ximoo.

Shared, transactional, authorship network does happen to spell 'Stan', which is neat. 'StanMOO' does not particularly appeal to me, personally, but I will not judge anyone for feeling differently.

'MUDROOM' is both redundant (Multi-User Dungeon, Rust, Object-Oriented Multi-User Dungeon), doesn't remove the presence of the 'R', and fails to acknowledge the transactional shared elements, but it amuses me so I'm including it anyway.

Open questions for consideration in the choice of names: whether the authors/maintainers have strong feelings about acronyms, and their opinions on the importance of including 'MOO' as a suffix.

Great ideas, though I'm personally feeling a bias against anything that uses "MOO", not sure why. Maybe because there was such an overdose of that back in the 90s.

I have been mulling the name timbran -- it's the old Anglo-Saxon (Old English) verb for "to build / construct" but also has meanings of "instruct" or "edify" and to "cut timber".

It's the root of the modern English word "timber" and also shares the same root as the German word "zimmer" (room)

It's also not taken, and is obscure sounding enough that people could just think it's a made-up word. Even sounds vaguely Tolkien-Elvish (Quenya).

Feedback / thoughts welcome

νμ (nu-mu / new-moo) does have a certain nerdy appeal
