"networking-midonet" is a fairly generic. Shouldn't it have "neutron" in the name somewhere?

I do agree with you, but seems like OpenStack Infrastructure guys don't:

I would like the word neutron removed from this name in favour of networking as using neutron in stackforge (or any openstack project name in stackforge is a bad idea). I see some repos made it through which is unfortunate. I would like to stem the tide. I will work on getting the names changed on the current stackforge repos.

I agree with Anita, we have already networking-ofagent and others, let's follow these and name the repository networking-midonet
"
(review is here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/155299/)

Furthermore, it seems like these kind names already exist in Launchpad:
- https://launchpad.net/networking-cisco
- https://launchpad.net/networking-brocade

Regards.

That's a very antisocial decision from the OpenStack infrastructure people. OpenStack doesn't own the PyPI or Launchpad global namespaces.

I've renamed it to https://launchpad.net/networking-midonet for consistency, but would strongly encourage the OpenStack project to rethink their use of namespaces.

I am agree with you... but our company is strongly focused in OpenStack and we need to follow these rules. Thank you very much.
