Rename the repo?

This has been discussed before, but I wanted to make something more visible so we could collect more ideas/feedback.
I think the biggest problem with the name "notebooks" is that there are many repositories with this name (in other orgs), and when you try to fork a repository and GitHub detects a name conflict, it automatically starts appending numbers to the end of the fork. This requires manual intervention to fix - and even then can get very confusing because if you look at other users' forks they may all have different names. If we were going to stick with "notebooks" generally, we could solve this problem by getting cute with the name, e.g. notebookx.
NumPy has gone with numpy-tutorials for a similar project, but networkx-tutorials isn't a great fit because "tutorial" doesn't really describe the full range of material we envision having here. IIRC some other ideas that have been mentioned:
- networkx-guides
- networkx-handbook
- nx-guides
- nx-case-studies
- nx-compendium
- networkx-compendium
I like nx-guides at the moment... but want to hear other options... :}
How about,
• nx-exemplar
• nx-heuristics
• nx-interactive heuristics
• networkx-heuristics
• networkx-interactive heuristics
Other ideas:
• networkx-collection
• networkx-guidebook
• networkx-manual
• networkx-starter
• nx-graphbook
let's pull the trigger on this one? nx-guides looks good.
Agreed - I was going to combine it with a "beta" deploy but just haven't found the time to do so yet. I will try to do so tomorrow!
The switch has been flipped - the new repository name is nx-guides based on the above feedback. Thanks all for sharing your ideas & opinions. All forks should be unaffected by the name change and still point to the correct place, but if there are any questions or issues related to this please to hesitate to ping here or open a new issue.
