    This is my proposition for a better name for the project (takes effect if ppl support it and I get my next salary so I can purchase the domain)

    pros:

    + It's easier to type and remember
    + It's easier to pronounce
    + It's phonetic association in English is good
    + it's a shorthand for "Consum***** Information Unified Model" (choose any word starting with C if you like)
