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
