I have been having trouble remembering the name of this project. Recalling «project m-something» is not very helpful when searching! Why is it exactly 36? What does «m» stand for? And why the colon? Is the capital Xi part of the name too?

If you can add some hints to the description of the project, surely it will help other people recall the name and hopefully increase your outreach!

Hi @kindaro, indeed you're not the first person to comment on the name. I chose a unique name so that the project could be found easily- the name itself has no real meaning, though it is reminiscent of a prototypical, skunkworks name designation.

The Xi is simply a Greek letter which looks vaguely like a stock database icon.

Do you have any suggestions for better, more memorable names?

I like the name, aside from it being hard to remember. Maybe ΞDB, or XiDB? But it is not really my place to suggest names for your project — it is your privilege as the author.
