Hi everyone!

I'd like to get guidance on how to pick an official name (e.g. appearing 
in keystone catalog or used in API versioning headers) for a subproject 
of an official project.

Specifically, I'm talking about ironic-inspector, which is a auxiliary 
service under the bare metal program. My first assumption is to prefix 
with ironic's official name, so it should be something like 
'baremetal-XXX' or 'baremetal XXX'. Is it correct? Which separator is 
preferred?

Next step is choosing the XXX part. The process we implement in 
ironic-inspector is usually referred to as "baremetal introspection" or 
"baremetal inspection". The former is used for our OSC plugin, so I 
think our official name should be one of
1. "baremetal<SEPARATOR>introspection" - named after the process we 
implement
2. "baremetal<SEPARATOR>inspector" - using our code name after the 
official ironic project name.

WDYT? Any suggestions are welcome.

Dmitry
