What's in the name?

Mneme is a muse. In Greek mythology, the nine muses were "a guiding spirit" and "a source of inspiration". Like Melete (Lesson Builder), Mneme has been a source of inspiration for the users, trainers, and developers who have been involved in their evolution. If you can't say Mneme, just drop the "m" and say 'neme'. Emphasis on the first syllabus. That's very close to the Greek pronunciation. Please do not say 'meme'.

The name for the application was chosen by Technical Lead, Glenn Golden, in November of 2006, for his delivery code. Glenn and his daughter, Gracie, practiced saying Mneme for a full weekend, and the name for the tool was born. Muse and Ambrosia were chosen in collaboration with Vivie Sinou to complete the theme of our work. Assignments, Tests & Surveys (AT&S) is the tool label of Mneme for end users.
