If we were to treat it as an acronym, the closest pronounciation would be, in my mind, something like "vim-eye". Since this is a Ruby library, I added a "roo" and worked it through: * vim-eye * roo-vim-eye * roovm-eye And thus we get "Rumai". %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %| section "License" %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %# See the file named "LICENSE" for details. %< "LICENSE" %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %| section "Credits" %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rumai is made possible by <%= xref "History", "contributions" %> from users like you: %# See the file named "CREDITS" for details. %< "CREDITS" %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- %| section "Related works" %#---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * [r9p](http://libs.suckless.org/r9p) * [Rii](http://rubyforge.org/projects/rii/) * [Ruby-IXP](http://home.gna.org/rubyixp/) * [ruby-wmii](http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?wmii+ruby)
