I don't understand, the project is _called_ Elixir. Isn't it against HN rules to editorialize titles -- I would assume "The Elixir Cross Referencer" is the vali

  There's a reason they're called guidelines not rules :) We don't want them to be rigidly enforced for their own sake, we want them to help cultivate more interesting discussions. So, when a case arises in which the original title causes a discussion to be bad (e.g., it is becoming dominated by off-topic discussion of the fact that the project's name causes it to be mistaken for an established project that's already well known to the community), that surely warrants a deviation from the guidelines, no?
