New project name

[zregvart]

The name "Enterprise Contract" was a descriptive name we took on in lack of better options when we started. The name doesn't really roll of the tongue -- we often just say "EC". The word "Enterprise" perhaps has some unwanted presumptions associated with it. Similarly the word "Contract" might be associated with legal agreements.

Naming is one of those hard problems, this name stuck, changing it is not something that has been a priority for us, and we have gotten used to it. Perhaps it is time to find a new name for the project.

So let's explore finding a new name for the project. We're very happy to take any suggestions. Please put them in the comments, and consider joining one of our community meetings to discuss.

Proposal: EC

Meaning: EC is already widely used. Let's simply turn it into an orphan initialism. EC itself is the name and no longer an acronym. We could use something like "ec project" as search term and website domain.

We could list some previous suggestions here, but I feel like they've already been rejected one way or another, so let's make a fresh start.

I will throw my 0.02 into the conversations. My suggestion is Validify, reflects the validation and policy checking aspects

Good Luck!

Can we pronounce EC like "it's so EC to use, you're going to love it."?

[ralphbean]

Proposal: proctor

It facilitates a test.

[ralphbean]

Proposal: ref

As in "referee". Calling the shots. 🙌 ✋

[ralphbean]

Proposal: ump

As in "umpire". A variant on the above, in case "ref" is too confusing with "git ref".

[ralphbean]

Proposal: assay

As a noun, it means the testing of an ore to determine its ingredients and quality.

edit nope - it's awful to say out loud.

[ralphbean]

Proposal: everclear

You could backronym to ec and it's about supply chain transparency!
