The fact that this repository was named "arduino" is problematic. I understand why it was named as such (because Firmata could be implemented across multiple architectures, not just Arduino) but the issue is that if someone downloads a tag they have to rename it from "arduino" to "Firmata". If someone is cloning the repo they can change the repo name at that time, but it's not so clear to a less experienced user.
The issue is however how to change the name of this repo without being disruptive since there are a number of clones and forks at this point.
I propose changing the name from firmata/arduino to firmata/Firmata. Any thoughts on how to do this without messing up everyone's existing references? One approach would be to create firmata/Firmata and copy over everything from firmata/arduino (including all issues) but keep firmata/arduino until everyone has migrated over to firmata/Firmata.

I would also like to propose to the Arduino team to add firmata as a submodule (if the Arduino team is using or open to using submodules) in the Arduino github repo so it is easier to keep the version in Arduino up to date. This is another reason why renaming this repo would be helpful.
