Spring project name problem
As spring is a common name used for several things, when you type spring in search engine, it's hard to find spring project related results.
TA Spring gives better results but there is the will to unbind Total Annihilation from Spring so that Spring can't be called TA Spring anymore.
It would be great to have a pretty unique name for the spring project.
I don't criticize the "Spring" name in this topic, just the fact it's too common.

I was about to suggest "Fall" but then I thought about it for a half hour and came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work.Masure wrote:As spring is a common name used for several things, when you type spring in search engine, it's hard to find spring project related results.

We all know if you use some clever keywords you're gonna have good results (spring rts, spring ta, ...).Peet wrote:
I was pointing that the name itself is not enough alone and is missleading. If you type "spring game" in, the first page gives only one spring related result.
But google results are not the matter, it just would be great the project name leads flawlessly to the project in the minds.
Auto quoting myself cause you re doing the same thing as peet but you don't seem to read the replies.Masure wrote:We all know if you use some clever keywords you're gonna have good results (spring rts, spring ta, ...).

I don't think it's beneficial enough having a name so obscure it can toppage on single word google searches to warrant the effort of changing the spring name in every known reference we use it in.
If someone searches "spring" and they are confused by the fact that they come up with hits for the season and object, and they can't figure out how to narrow the search to more closely get the hit they are looking for, chances are they won't be able to figure out the installer anyways.
"Spring Game" gives us the top result and gives our wikipedia page the second hit. You can't ask for better than that.

Imagine if spring were the top result for the word spring! Millions of people would try the game! (dozens will stay for more!) Our community would nearly double!
