[Hamara-users] [Hamara-devel] name challenge - alternate names for 'Mozilla Firefox' and 'Browser'

[Sam Sayer]

With Divali very much in my head at the moment I wondered about a name based around light - a search engine is  light in the dark for finding content after all.

So - Vik suggested Diva, so whether that on it’s own variant ShereDiva or something like that? I’ll have a think…!
