Rename?

[yarikoptic]

This is a tender fire a better name for the project, which would better encompass underwritten yet goals. Should be shortish and memorable

Some candidates:

• metasorter - eventually might take advantage from multiple algorithms, or
• metaspike
• groundspike - the goal is to dig out the ground truth ;-)

sprike splike ekips sipek kepsi

I sort of like kepsi

[yarikoptic]

Kepsi is cool but how it relates?

[magland]

scrambled spikes

[yarikoptic]

Oh... Well, a single Spike to be precise ;-) I like the kepsi name but its etymology is a tricky one ;-) let's consider it a lead candidate for now until more ideas/votes come in

[magland]

okay sounds good.

voltagedrop

[yarikoptic]

spikodrome

[magland]

I vote for spikodrome

[yarikoptic]

So we have a tie ATM
dandi/kepsi vs spikodrome we need someone (@bendichter @satra @mgrauer @colehurwitz ?) to break it ;) I like the sweet dendiness of the first and the spaciousness of the second. kepsidrome is also an opportunity ;)

[colehurwitz]

I don't really understand the spikodrome name, but it sounds cool.

Maybe something like:

allspike spikeshare openspike

[mgrauer]

spikodrome I'm assuming is similar to hippodrome which was an arena for racing horses (hippo).

In this case we aren't having the spikes compete but the sortings, though sortodrome doesn't sound nearly as cool.

spikodrome also has some resemblance to videodrome, which is a plus for me.

[yarikoptic]

;-) it was Russian in me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baikonur_Cosmodrome so cosmodrome is a "spaceship port"

it is the place from where we

• launch various (space) ships/spike sorters
• go out to explore unknown/unknown
• fan out from earth/raw recordings

The logo could be some field of spikes (replacing rockets) aiming up into uncharted territories ;)

[magland]

I feel like we are converging on spikodrome -- keeping in mind that the aim and scope of this repo is uncertain. It's just a way to communicate for now, right?

[satra]

i like kepsi

but just to confuse things a few more options:

• spiked (like spike daemon)
• spiketrain

[yarikoptic]

arena for racing horses (hippo).

that works too -- racing the spike sorters! ;)
I reserved https://github.com/spikodrome/ but that is not binding at all (@kepsi was taken, might be dormant but not empty)

[colehurwitz]

I can go for spikodrome! :)

[yarikoptic]

Ok, moved under spikodrome/administrative . If we decide on a different name, we could rename
