Orbit organization

[daviddias]

Creating and subscribing to this issue, so that I get notified when Orbit becomes its on Github org :)

https://github.com/orbit is taken :/

Not sure what would be a good alternative...

Brainstorming some names related to orbit:

• apogee
• perigee
• trajectory

Orbit in Spanish might work, orbita. Or maybe Finnish: kiertorata

Mmm peerogi. Probably too far from space though :p.

[daviddias]

We got https://github.com/orbitdb \o/

What's holding this back? I need this to happen soon, as I need to refer people to the group of orbit repos.

It hadn't clearly been prioritized for anyone. I'll work on this this week, and ask @haadcode to move over repos when he's back from vacation.

[RichardLitt]

Started. https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb. See https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb/issues/1 for a discussion on which repos to move there. I can shape things up better as I know more.

@jbenet can you elaborate here on the urgency and target? Is there an event coming at a specific date where we want to talk about orbit(db)? What exactly is "people" in this case, a particular set of users or generally?

[daviddias]

I believe it is because as orbit get's linked, it is easier to attract people to 'orbit the endeavor', than 'orbit the app'. Plus it is a discoverability thing, in the same way we tell people to go to github.com/ipfs for IPFS things, github.com/orbitdb for orbit things.

Do note that, given that we already have a org, the time spent discussing on when it is the best time to move will be way bigger than just getting the thing done.

Here we go: https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit. 👋

Considering this goal completed. Rest of the orbit related repos still moving and tracked in https://github.com/orbitdb/orbitdb/issues/1.
