Rebrand? #12

Closed frewsxcv closed 7 years ago

frewsxcv commented 9 years ago

From #rust-geo on IRC:

6:11 PM <@dremonkey> also I have a good name for rust-geo if interested
6:11 PM <@dremonkey> in changing
6:12 PM <@dremonkey> noticed a lot of rust libs play off of elements or iron... so was thinking lodestone would be kinda fun

Not suggesting we need to, but when (if?) this library ever matures and we ever want to rebrand, ideas can be shared here.

Specifically with the 'lodestone' idea above, I think it's very creative, though we lose a bit of the implicit description of the library (unless there is some large overlap in software developers and geologists I'm not aware of)

I've just found this library by searching for "rust geo" on Google and IMHO changing the name to something like "lodestone" would certainly make it harder to find and remember.

calvinmetcalf commented 9 years ago

also when everyone is making very similar puns it makes telling libraries apart very hard

tmcw commented 8 years ago

Another -1, rust-geo is nice & direct.

Not much support for rebranding, so closing this.
