    The name was voted by the community. There were a lot of very good names that unfortunately were already being used by other projects. I’m not a fan of the final choice either.

      And, It’s not even unique.

      On the iOS App Store, for example, there is:

      • MyCOMAP
      • COMAP
      • ComAp Helpcentre
      • MYCOMAP BALANCING
      • and two apps from a company named COMAP S.A.

        Yes, it was pointed out that CoMaps was also the name of a business operating in… maps. So if the project gets traction, they’ll likely be sued into a better name.
