Riiight... as the author of the Mu editor (a volunteer led code editor aimed at beginner Python programmers and educators -- https://codewith.mu/ https://codewith.mu/), this was rather a surprising turn up for the books this morning. I guess "just Google for Mu" won't work any more. Beginner coders are just gonna love "Firmware as a service". ;-)

  Thank you! Very much a work in progress. You can see what folks have been doing with Mu (the editor) here: https://madewith.mu/ https://madewith.mu/ :-)

I also thought this was going to be something about Mu editor. Reminds all over the GVFS story again: https://github.com/Microsoft/VFSForGit/issues/7 https://github.com/Microsoft/VFSForGit/issues/7

  Ok, maybe not exactly "all over". 1. GVFS name is trivial, but less trivial than just "Mu" 2. Mu Project vs. Mu Editor makes it still distinguishable 3. GVFS (now gio?) exists for ages, Mu Editor and Project Mu are two fairly new projects. I guess I'm just still upset about how people at Microsoft picked the name back then and how little they initially considered changing their name.

I guarantee "Python Mu" will continue to bring up codewith.mu and "Mu" will continue to bring a million random sites as it is an extremely common letter and abbreviation. If Googling "Mu" was bringing up codewith.mu for you it was because Google already knew your context already from history with the project or Python searches. Sidenote: If you want a unique name don't pick one that is 2 letters (or 1 technically).

>I guess "just Google for Mu" won't work any more Has it so far? Did you say "Mu"? In that case people could have googled for all kinds of things: Mew or moo or me or something else. And even if they knew how it is spelled the first results would have been the greek letter mu, the zen mu, or the football team Manchester United. In Sweden a lot of the results were about a children's tv-programme, Mamma Mu. Your editor is not on the first, second or third page of Google, I didn't look any further, because who does? It's probably good for you that you realised saying "just Google for Mu" won't work "anymore".
