Could you perhaps remove the quotes around me in the project name? It makes sorting in the various module lists akward.

Do you have a suggestion for a name without quotes that is semantically correct? Just removing the quotes makes the project name both semantically and syntactically incorrect.

I realize this is over a year old, but I'm going to reopen it because I was forced to look in the .info file just to be able to find the module in order to enable it. There are just too many places where we expect alphabetical order to be intelligent, but don't get it.

In this case, some obvious alternatives might have been "User Path Aliases", "Logged-in user aliases", etc. (but those aren't my suggestions).

However, I disagree with the premise that the module name has to be syntactically or semantically correct in this way. It's a name, not a sentence or phrase, and names are commonly ungrammatical. There are plenty of examples: Pathauto and Devel aren't words, Image Assist isn't grammatically correct, and so on.

In this case, given how long the module has been around, I think the obvious name for the module is MeAliases. Yeah, it's not a word, but so what? This sort of name would put it in good company.
