This is pretty rare. A thread that is totally okay to bikeshed to death!
With the new membership system going live(ish) recently, we need your help!
Our old membership system was called Membership Manager Pro, was full of dodgy code, was closed source, and was not licensed for upgrades (which were very infrequent anyway). Most of the features we needed were hacked on by a couple of us, and it wasn’t really making the code any better.
So we redid it. It’s all in a private GitHub repo for now (ask us for access), but pretty soon absolutely none of the legacy code will remain, and we can open it up!
This is where you come in*. We need a new name. Something a little snappier than “Membership Manager Pro”. Something that can be abbreviated just as easily, but doesn’t sound like it came out of an entry-level marketing class.

.* We also need more people with code ability to help us fill in the gaps - there is lots to be done. See the “Get Involved” page in MMP for more info.
In greek mythology it is the personified spirit of law. This system in a way acts as the rule set for how things are governed, via membership levels and privileges (laser training, etc).
It’s easy to pronounce
it’s not an acronym
