This seems like a nice project. I was wondering about the backstory of the name Jami, which I associate with a great fifteenth-century Persian poet (جامی)—really one of the towering figures in the millennium-long tradition of classical Persian poetry.[0] But according to the project website,[1] they took the name from a Swahili word for "community,"[2] which is in turn derived from Arabic (جميع or perhaps جامع). Sorry to go off on a tangent!
