Multiple projects with the same cutest name

[mity]

There are many unit testing facilities with the name, "Cutest", or some very similar name. Even if filtering out some mirrors/copies/forks, the current list of known Cutests so far seems like this:

• http://cutest.sourceforge.net/ (with many mirrors of it on github, likely the 1st one having the name)
• https://github.com/rafael-santiago/cutest
• https://github.com/yubako/cutest
• https://github.com/m-pilia/cUTest
• https://github.com/djanowski/cutest (unit tests for Ruby)
• https://github.com/InfernalLogic/cutest
• https://ccpforge.cse.rl.ac.uk/gf/project/cutest/wiki
• https://github.com/aiobofh/cutest
• http://cute-test.com/

Quite terrific. This shows few things:

• That choosing the name for this project was not so good idea as it seemed when I "invented" the name.
• That I failed to do some research to verify whether the name is not already used.
• That we should do something with it. The open question is what as I am not sure whether renaming it would help as the damage has already been done.
• The only positive thing is I am not alone :-)

The question is what to do now. I actually see only two reasonable approaches:

1. Keep the current status quo. It exists for years already and, AFAIK, there was no real harm. Of course we should at least be polite and do some disambiguation in README.md or something.
2. Rename this project to something else. With all the bad consequences because some people already know and refer to this project by its name.

I tend to stick with the first solution, at least until practice shows the current situation is unbearable.

Any opinions?

For me it is better to rename the project. Sooner you do it, better it is.

I discovered this library today, I want to use it on my projects, the only problem could be that I need to change the git submodule's pathname, when you will change the name.

FYI: having a great experience with this project, already merged in fluent/fluent-bit.

We are now the "another cutest" to differentiate us from all the cutests :-)

It's true that one such repo on github already exists but it does not look as a serious living project and it has nothing to do with C unit tests.

Google search looks also fine to me.

Note the header cutest.h has been also renamed to acutest.h. Hopefully this is not a big issue for anyone.
