12 I considered that, but "gentoo bsd", "gentoo elections", "gentoo
13 crypto" all show the respective project pages very highly in the
14 search results, even without "Gentoo [Linux]" in their names.
15
16 Also, even for projects with Gentoo in the name I'm not sure that it
17 helps. For instance if I google "gentoo alpha" I get the appropriate
18 project page as the second result (after the handbook link), but the
19 title of the page is "Project:Alpha - Gentoo Wiki" and not the name of
20 the project ("Gentoo Linux Alpha Development") and that name text
21 doesn't show up as any of the abbreviated search results. I don't
22 think the name is used for much except for the top of the box on the
23 right side of the project page and on user pages.
