Funny you should bring that up! Today when I was jogging I realized your chosen project name sounds like an antisemitic breakfast beverage: Jew-O, for Nazi astronauts. Cf. The Toyota Incubus (there's a story floating around about a product named Incubus which had to be recalled at the last minute. The culprit is alternately either Toyota, Nike, or Reebok).


that is funny!

juwo used to stand for "Julie's World", a 6 year old orphan in Mother Theresa's orphanage in Bangalore, India.

I don't personally have a problem with the name, just pointing out that other people might not react to it so well. Sometimes they can't quite put their finger on it but they know the name makes them uneasy for some reason...
