First things first: repos. Do we create a new repo for the new “gui tool” (and come up with a better name) or do we just start a v1 branch in the current repo?
I’d like to start a new repo just named “tools” that has a GUI as one of the tools. This leaves space for command-line tools to be developed as well and kept in this repository.
We might also want to refer to the GUI using something less generic then “gooey tool”. What about calling it the “UAVCAN control station” or “UAVCAN control suite”. Let’s make a “my name is best” list like we did for naming Subjects:
UAVCAN control station (UCS)
UAVCAN control suite (UCS)
UAVCAN Diagnostics and Control (UDC)
Visual UAVCAN (VUC)
UAVCAN connect (UConn)
UAVCAN 360 (this is a joke, somehow I went all Microsoft for the last three of these)
The Best Damned User Interface Ever Built Using Python to Serve Javascript (BDUIEBUPSJ)
I decide to make every user action require 10 mouse clicks and a scroll wheel
Computer mouse was invented for a reason, right?

Eh, I would rather see a dedicated repo for the gooey tool, it seems important enough for that. How many command-line tools can there be anyway, and are we sure they should be versioned together with the gooey tool?

I am ashamed of myself that I couldn’t come up with a better name. We must fix this.
You said “UAVCAN Diagnostics and Control (UDC)”; surely you meant UAVCAN Command and Conquer (UCNC)?
Excavator.
In the spirit of “bus master” there could be a Bus Vassal.
Lord of the Bus (one tool to rule them all, one tool to find them, etc).
I can’t comment on any copyrights other then to say satire seems generally well-protected in western law. That said, I’m not a big fan of LOTB since it requires people to get the joke to understand the name.
Here are the names that I think are reasonable albeit boring (didn’t someone suggest Canny-McCanface yet?)
