Steps towards a broader adoption

[mgcrea]

After playing/hacking ied, I really think the project could/should be more widely known and used.

I think there are a couple of things that could help:

• Have the repository moved to an organisation
• Decide once for all if we keep the name/branding (Personally I quite like it)
• Create a proper logo
• Use more sensible defaults (like build by default)
• Start a new PR round when ready (HackerNews/Reddit)

I personally quite like ied, we could play on the "explosive" performance!

Thanks for putting this together, let me add a couple of notes:

Have the repository move to an organisation

Not quite sure how to feel about that. Definitely a great idea if we decide to split the project up into multiple repos, similar to the Node org.

Decide once for all if we keep the name/branding (Personally I quite like it)

We could definitely need some help there. I've been extremely bad at managing the whole naming issue. I personally don't think it's a massive problem. There are names that are far worse.

Create a proper logo

Definitely agreed. I talked to a friend of mine who is a designer. Other than that, any kind of suggestion is of course welcome.

Use more sensible defaults (like build by default)

Absolutely. I also want to add another one here: Use some sort of config file instead of purely relying on environment variables.

Start a new PR round when ready (HackerNews/Reddit)

Sounds good. Totally agree with you there.

Other than that I just got the confirmation today that I will be giving at talk at Node Live in London later this month. I'm going to talk about ied. I think this is a great opportunity for this project.
