I understand about the name, but what's the problem with Mmrnmhrm's 
current homepage and screenshots?

As for the name, it's a personal touch of geek humor and homage, but 
yeah, it's silly. (although, for those newcomers that don't know yet, I 
didn't make it up, the name comes from Star Control II and is 
pronunciable: 
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/descent/downloads/mmrnmhrm.wav )

But yeah, it's not adequate for a proper product, and I would think 
about changing it if I saw that I would have significant time in the 
future to continue developing Mmrnmhrm, but unfortunately that is not 
the case :( , as I'm going back to working full-time. Makes you wish you 
had that 20% time for personal projects like Google engineers have. ~_~'

Also, if Descent were to adopt DLTK, it would pretty much obsolete 
Mmrnmhrm... *wink* *wink* :)
