Change Site Name #24

Closed kenny5033 closed 2 months ago

kenny5033 commented 3 months ago

Current name is too close to https://visualizingenergy.org

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

How about "edb" (for energy database)? It is pretty easy to say. It is quick to type.

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

Also, I don't think this should be a backburner issue. We need to solve it soon, so we reduce the number of changes required later.

kenny5033 commented 2 months ago

Just some quick ideas: EcoSight, shorten to ECOS EcoGraph, shorten to ECOG

They show that the project deals with the ecosystem and visualization, but lose the energy part....

Brainstorming session: XDB for Exergy Database PSUTDB or EPSUTDB or XPSUTDB XVIZ or EXVIZ instead of EVIZ XEDIS for exergy/energy display XEVIEW for exergy/energy view Celosia, greek for burned/aflame Xenergeia, "energeia" is greek for energy Xenergia Xemergia XEM, xergy-energy-materials Blosxem (blos-zem)

XEM is a Neo-pronoun, so perhaps not a good choice.

PSUTDB or EPSUTDB or XPSUTDB look like alphabet soup -- I'd downvote these.

I wouldn't tie the name too closely to minutia of current data and data-naming. That doesn't grow well.

Of the items above, I sort of liking Xenergia. It's pretty easy to detect "energy" in there, and given the list, it seems people like the letter X. "eia" at the end seems like it will lead to lots of typos.

Viz is nice, but the site does more than visualize. It is also a portal for downloading data. For some users, that might be the more important feature.

XenergiX?

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

I talked to Tania today. She wants to go with XEDIS. No name will be perfect 🙂.

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

XEDIS is a company name. https://www.xedis.be

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

XenergiX

There is a company in Mexico by that name. https://www.xenergix.com.mx.

energXia seems to have no presence on the web. vizmee (visualize material and energy exergy) is free (but there is a vizme.co) vizmeX (visaulize material and energy exergy) is available vizme2 (visualize material and energy exergy) presemt (PRESent Energy and MaTerial) meXergee (material energy eXERGy EE) is available

mexer (Material and Energy eXERgy) a Portuguese word that means to move, shake, or stir. Also the name of a center-back who plays in Mozambique. https://www.transfermarkt.us/mexer/profil/spieler/127610.

There is a company in Delhi with Xenergia https://www.zaubacorp.com/company/XENERGIA-POWER-SOLUTIONS-PRIVATE-LIMITED/U31900DL2022PTC394167#google_vignette Among a good few others using Xenergia

I checked with Tania. She likes mexer, so we're going with mexer!

How should it be styled? Mexer? meXer? MeXeR?

kenny5033 commented 2 months ago

Mexer (with that styling) has been chosen as the new project name!

rpruim commented 2 months ago

all lower case for the url?

MatthewHeun commented 2 months ago

all lower case for the url?

I think domain names are case INsensitive. So https://mexer.site and https://MeXeR.SiTe both work.
