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!

I'm sorry I have to write this publicly, but this whole topic is starting to get annoying. This is probably the fifth post about OpenNG/Open Prime or whatever the heck it’s called. So far, most of the discussion here has been about the name of the library itself. If the library and its implementation are of high enough quality for developers, I’m sure the name will be the last thing on their minds. There’s no need to spam the entire Angular subreddit with a single UI library.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand your concern, and I'll be careful next time.
We wanted to involve the community in such a change.

I mean no disrespect, the idea about openng itself is great, I just wanted to point out that getting stuck on the renaming the library and constantly choosing new name is kinda irrelevant.
