In the comments for [pull request 98](https://github.com/WardCunningham/Smallest-Federated-Wiki/pull/98#issuecomment-3505486), Ward mentioned:

> Nick is looking to rename "server/express/bin/server". Is there a problem with that name? The name "sfw-express" seems to encode information already present in the path to the file.

Seems to me, following typical web server naming idioms, the server should be named `"#{thing-it-serves}d"`. So `sfwd` would be the name.

Or perhaps since there are two servers, it should be called one of:

* `sfwd-express`
* `sfw-expressd`
* ???

I think I like that first one. When the day comes when there is a single reference server, we can rename whichever that is to `sfwd`

Also, we should look at adding a `bin` entry to the `package.json`, so that when folks do an `npm -g` install, it will install the binary in a nice place. See, for example, https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/blob/master/package.json
