Jesus, is it so hard to google at least once before naming a project? Just recently that Sonar thing now this. What's next? A Windows editor called Linux?

FWIW, they can just call it Alibaba File Distribution System (AliFDS), which is: - Easier to recoganize - More branding influence (see the g... staff from Google) - Easier to search BTW: A windows edit called linux: not a bad idea!

  I think Alibaba Integrated file Distribution System is a more accurate representation of this project in acronym form.

To be fair, I've to admit that Dragonfly BSD doesn't show up on the first result page when you search for "dragonfly". What does show up is the malware by the same name. Side note: this also shows how simplistic Google search really is. No way to search for "Dragonfly /computers/" opposed to "Dragonfly /nature/" with the terms in slashes denoting a concept or domain instead of a syntactic element.

  eh? dragonfly +nature dragonfly +computer Though i don't blame you for not knowing, out of 4-5 operator cheat sheets and guides i only see mention of the "-" to exclude terms.

    "+" is for synonyms. That might lead in the right direction but it's not the same.

Google manipulates its results in a variety of ways. The end result is that if you and your networked peers aren't already searching for things related to Dragonfly BSD, then you're less likely to find it, because Google will be 'helpfully' biasing your search towards other stuff.

I used to think that too, but at the rate JS developers are creating package it wouldn't take very long before all decent, easy to remember names to be used up. Surely you don't want Alibaba to name a product in Chinese sounded English which no one could spell or remember right? ( I still cant spell many of the Chinese Companies' English name )
