What about when some other extremist group names themselves whatever the new name ends up being?
I could probably count all of the people that actually care about the current name on 0 hands, but 🤷‍♀️.

That's shame! Oathkeeper was such a nice name!

What are your thoughts on what the project's new name would be? I think "Needle" would make sense (as a proxy you pass through like the eye of a needle). It also makes me think of a solution that's smaller than most others, rather than one that's "too big for me".

Thank you for the suggestion! We will add it on the list of idea names :) Not sure how the voting will go though. In general we think going with the ecosystem greek naming thing might be good for consistency. Ory Oathkeeper really is the only project that doesn't follow that convention so far.

Triton would match with Hydra 😃

Making it more consistent with the other Greek names is a valid reason. In that case I would suggest Sancus

However, the current name is already awesome and well fitting. I immediately thought of the GoT sword when I read it, not whoever those guys are (and now I'll always make that association in my head).

oauthkeeper - really looking forward to jsonnet support in next-gen. Heracles or Hercules was the gatekeeper if keeping with Greek mythology. oauthkeepr if you want to stick with web 2.0, and oauthkeepd if you want to stay unix old school.

Hello contributors!

I am marking this issue as stale as it has not received any engagement from the community or maintainers for a year. That does not imply that the issue has no merit! If you feel strongly about this issue

  • open a PR referencing and resolving the issue;
  • leave a comment on it and discuss ideas on how you could contribute towards resolving it;
  • leave a comment and describe in detail why this issue is critical for your use case;
  • open a new issue with updated details and a plan for resolving the issue.

Throughout its lifetime, Ory has received over 10.000 issues and PRs. To sustain that growth, we need to prioritize and focus on issues that are important to the community. A good indication of importance, and thus priority, is activity on a topic.

Unfortunately, burnout has become a topic of concern amongst open-source projects.

It can lead to severe personal and health issues as well as opening catastrophic attack vectors.

The motivation for this automation is to help prioritize issues in the backlog and not ignore, reject, or belittle anyone.

If this issue was marked as stale erroneously you can exempt it by adding the backlog label, assigning someone, or setting a milestone for it.

Thank you for your understanding and to anyone who participated in the conversation! And as written above, please do participate in the conversation if this topic is important to you!

Thank you 🙏✌️

A point against the Greek naming: the current name is extremely self-descriptive and marketable, IMO; far more than other Ory projects. Also, it earns a lot of nerd points :)

My two cents: you could maintain the self-descriptiveness aspect, and retain the fantasy vibe, and dramatically reduce confusion after the rename, by going with another famous fictional sword: Oathbringer.
