Describe the bug

Naming this repository just "operator" feels wrong, why is this isn't called "gluster-operator" instead?

Steps to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. see the name of this repository

Actual results

The repository is named just "operator"

Expected behavior

The repository is named "gluster-operator"

Additional context

See examples of other operator projects named in a same way:

Given that the repo is under the gluster org, it seems somewhat redundant to have gluster/gluster-operator.

Do you know of a situation where the existing name will present a problem?

Do you know of a situation where the existing name will present a problem?

Someone forks it into own github profile and then looking just at the name isn't enough to understand what the repository is about. Similar problem happens when someone clones it into local machine (eg. if I were cloning this repo, I would do git clone git@github.com:gluster/operator.git gluster-operator to help myself recalling what this directory is about later).

Imho naming the repository using generic term looks like a bad idea. We have gluster-kubernetes repo and not just kubernetes repo, or gluster-ansible and no just ansible.

@mbukatov After talking it over w/ the rest of the team, we've decided on a bit of a different path than "gluster-operator".

Following the "ant" theme of Gluster, one of the devs (@jarrpa) has been experimenting with an operator under the name "anthill", and we've decided to bring that name forward into the official project.

While this doesn't match your original request for gluster-operator, I hope it does at least satisfy your desire for a unique/memorable name.
