Decide on new name to replace Labman

[tanaes]

'Labman' is disconcertingly male-directed (I've heard 'labperson' a few times so I know I'm not the only one).

'Manager' is derived from the latin 'manus' for hand, and ultimately pertains to the 'by-hand' nature of work.

'Man' is germanic in origin, related more directly to maleness.

Perhaps it's not too late to propose an alternative?

[josenavas]

Not at all - and now that you pointed that out I definitively want to change it.

Can we get some alternatives here?
My 2 cents: LabHelper

[tanaes]

Other suggestions in the same vein:

LabMenagerie

LabMnemon

[josenavas]

Given that the publication is going to be centered around the EMP protocols, EMPLab?

[josenavas]

Also, the easiest one, the actual origin of LabMan:

LabManager

[antgonza]

Following the tradition of ii -> Labiing?

Austin suggested TIIME?

Changing to high as it will be great to have a final name for final deploy, remember that we need https keys that need to match the final name; what do you think @AmandaBirmingham ?

Some new options (remember q is pronounced as CH):

• qaqalaca
• qalupa
• qamp -- lab-qamp!

[wasade]

• qamnit
• qeese
• qirp-qirp
• enqiladas

[adswafford]

How about

• Sample Handling Information and Tracking System
• Processing Operation Organization Program
• Workflow Tracking Framework

or rather acronyms of these?
