+# GedächtNAS - external storage for your brain
+
+## The name?
+
+"Gedächtnis" is German for memory (brain), "NAS" stands for Network-Attached
+Storage. The combination of the two is a bad pun that requires specialized
+hardware to even type properly.
+
+In places where the *proper name* — "GedächtNAS", including the umlaut and
+capitalization — can't be used, the *technical name* — "gedaechtnas", always
+lowercase — or the *abbreviated name* — "gdn" — shall be used instead. Other
+variations or spellings are incorrect.
