They started great with unpronounceable name, webpage with zero actual details and goals that sound extra strange considering what gnome is. Good job.
I think their Github page elucidates at least parts of their goals.
Sounds like they want to move some options from GNOME Tweaks to the Settings menu, and reduce Systemd coupling.
Yeah I can't see any way to pronounce that name other than "jism", which is certainly an unusual association to suggest for one's own project.
The project doesn't seem like it's actually a joke, but that's quite an unfortunate name choice if they are trying to be taken seriously by anyone who speaks English.
