>One of the items on my to-do list for officially launching Logray is to change its name to Stratoshark.
>There are several reasons for changing the name:
- "Log" is misleading. The application handles system calls and logs, and the analysis UI options currently focus on syscalls.
- The "shark" brand is very strong.
- The name is much more consistent: Wireshark lives in your wires. Stratoshark lives in your cloud.
- As much as I like the name Logray, I'm not really thrilled about the prospect of repeatedly explaining that "No, it's not named after the Ewok, rays are cartilaginous cousins of sharks. Isn't that cool? Why are your eyes glazing over?" for the next N years.
