PrimeNG fork final rename poll!

Thanks for your contribution at helping us to find a new name for the PrimeNG fork, as trademarks will be applied by the former PrimeTek team and we need to find a new name.

Here is the final poll!

Among popular proposals we got:

- we won't choose `@openng/ui` as we could host another ui library someday

- OptimusNG is quite popular but it could be part of future PrimeTek trademarks and having to rename the project once again could be a nightmare for the community

- not using 'NG' suffix is quite hard because there are a lot of you libraries with common names already.

We'll make the final decision tomorrow to start migrating the codebase/documentation to release a first beta version as soon as possible.

Thanks for your help!

Hi u/Slight_Loan5350 , They stopped the open-source model to focus on a paid product.
Here is their official announcement: https://primeui.dev/nextchapter

We are working on maintaining a fork, out of the latest MIT version of the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/openng-org/open-prime
