Comment:

 Replying to [comment:4 atagar]:
 > TorStatus is the name for two distinct websites and codebases already,
 please don't make it a category of pages too. That's just... confusing.
 Ideally this change would completely remove the name "TorStatus" from the
 site, expect where we are specifically talking about the php or django
 sites.

 gonna call our projects "Atlas TorStatus", "Django TorStatus", "Php
 TorStatus", "Onionoo TorStatus", "mOnionO TorStatus", *and* "Consensus-
 Health TorStatus" then that's... odd, but your choice as one of the
 authors.

 I fixed the "Atlas TorStatus" thing.  It should be just "Atlas" there.

 But I'm not sure what name to use for the project family.

 It's not really "Onionoo", because that's just the name of the server and
 the protocol.  The name wouldn't cover Atlas, mOnionO, and the dozen yet-
 to-be-written clients.

 We could also say "Status" or "Tor status" or "Network Status" or
 something else.

 I have no clear preference there.  I mostly care about Onionoo.  Can you
 suggest something that is least confusing to existing and new users?
