I have a dream... that one day people will name their projects with names that don't exist on google yet. If you search for PEP now you'll find python enhancement proposals, and the "Philippine Entertainment Portal" and the stock code for PepsiCo.

I have a dream that dang will automate flagging and removing the inevitable inane comments about name uniqueness every time someone posts a project on HN.

We need to find an actionable suggestion. Maybe projects can have a long name and a nick name? To make everyone happy, and of course, to be useful for everyone.

In previous times, I worked for a company that had the acronym AAPL. I kept getting the stock quotes for Apple every time I browse the company's intranet.

Not sure I follow. Are you saying that by trademarking the fingerprint you can prevent SEO abuse? The problem with any SEO mitigation is that the 128 bit string is intended for SEO.

I don't think trademark helps there.

I too dream of content addressable web.

#98A GUI app for manually crafting PDFs is one thing, but a library instead would enable countless developers to create software capable of producing PDF deliverables as output, possibly improving the accessibility situation too. I would gladly sponsor the development of a reliable library that allows to programmatically produce compliant, accessible tagged PDFs with arbitrary layout[0], correctly printable and viewable…

#99I currently use adobe acrobat to make pdfs accessible (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/pdf).
Are you planning on building in accessibility tools?
