Currently not, but i would just name it simple like "portmaster 2". :D The initiative is at the moment offline, besides various emails. I will meet with another person interested in rewrite and discuss it much more within the next weeks. Also there is a lot of paper with architectural notices, QA-requirements and ideas about what should be done and what not. I will do a public announcement, when we start transferring it into the "wild". My current thought is creating a public repo on my private GitLab. I will use a special CI setup, but since it will need high permissions i need some control about what code went it. I welcome of course every help. Beside the programming we need of course extensive testing and i want to improve the documentation on so many level. Greetings, Torsten
