screen by any other name (please)

[Tom Drabenstott-2]

Hi --

It is very hard to  google or otherwise find information for "screen"
on the web since the word "screen" is used for many other things, even
when qualified with search terms like "gnu" or "terminal" which are
also quite popular.  Going forward, it may help if the project name
was changed to a unique identifier such as gnuscreen, "GnuScreen", or
"gscreen".  It really doesn't matter what it is, as long as it is
(more) unique and people refer to it  (n web sites, discussion groups,
documentation, blogs, etc) using that identifier.


Regards,

Tom

Very true.... I've just found it best to start searching the mailing
list first. Anything out on the open web is hit or miss.

including "gnu screen" as a quoted phrase in a google search usually  
works

(except when google decides to ignore the literal term, of course,  
which it does frequently nowadays)
