They could take the Postgres naming approach.
Ingress was forked; the Post fork version of Ingress was called "Post"gres.
So maybe name this new project "PostX" (for Post + nginx).
Though that might sound too similar to posix.
- virtualwhys 3y ago"Postginx" has a nice ring to it, could be an alcoholic beverage, a name of a generation, or even a web server.

- Nijikokun 3y agoPostgres name is said to be a reference to ingres db, not a fork of ingres. > The INGRES relational database management system (DBMS) was implemented during 1975-1977 at the Univerisity of California. Since 1978 various prototype extensions have been made to support distributed databases [STON83a], ordered relations [STON83b], abstract data types [STON83c], and QUEL as a data type [STON84a]. In addition, we proposed but never prototyped a new application program interface [STON84b]. The University of California version of INGRES has been ‘‘hacked up enough’’ to make the inclusion of substantial new function extremely difficult. Another problem with continuing to extend the existing system is that many of our proposed ideas would be difficult to integrate into that system because of earlier design decisions. Consequently, we are building a new database system, called POSTGRES (POSTinGRES). [https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/ERL-M85-95.pdf https://dsf.berkeley.edu/papers/ERL-M85-95.pdf]
- tiffanyh 3y agoIsn't this a bit pedantic. Fork vs "hacked up [Ingress] enough ... Consequently, building a new database system" named Postgres.
