So, I'm about to put out an open source project. It's nothing big, just a couple of classes, an extension for a markdown parser that adds a kind of freelink and thereby turns it into a simple wiki parser. Nothing fancy. Now, the reason I'm doing this is because I want to integrate it into *another* project I'm working on, which is a wonky cms thing because there aren't already eight million frickin' cms's in the world already, and that last use of the word "already" was shamefully redundant.
So, I haven't released an open source project on my own before, so I'm debating what name to use to release it. Should I use my name, or should I make up some name like "Exegetic Labs" or "Throbbing Elephant Cock" or whatever? It would be nice to release these, and any future oss projects, under one consistent name. It would probably also be nice if, in the unlikely event that anyone else ever decides to contribute, that name is not strictly mine. There is, of course, no legally-recognized corporation/organization/etc. involved. I guess it'll probably only be relevant in license text and whatnot, and to a great extent this all probably doesn't make a bit of difference, but I love to other-think simple matters.
Opinions?
