Follow-up Comment #1, sr #109144 (project administration):

Sorry for the long delay.  Unfortunately project review volunteers are in
short supply.

There was some very small discussion about this request.  No one liked the
very short three letter project name because it was too short and implied
other things such as font ligatures and not really a good name for guile on
libre hardware.  It seems unwise to try to grab a global namespace very short
name like this.  I am not one of the project submission reviewers but I think
that a project submission for lig would not be approved. But again I don't
know since I am not one of the project submission reviewers.  However I hated
to see this languish without some response and therefore decided to comment.
Let me kindly and gently suggest that a more specific project name would help
everyone.

Good point.  Namespace collisions are much worse with short names.
Perhaps we should write him and point that out.  I will do that
tomorrow unless someone else beats me to it.

To me, "lig" means ligatures.  A three-character name could mean
basically anything.  As you know, I am not a fan of such short names
being "usurped" by relatively new or little-known/used projects.

But I will not stand in the way if you (pl.) want to make the change.  -k

I see and read the documentation for this here:

You are the expert on this.  What do you think?

Thanks!

Details:

Hi,

I'm Lightom founder/admin and I'd like to change project name to Lig only.

Renames:

lightom.nongnu.org
to
lig.nongnu.org

savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lightom
to
savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lig

I did it with information but there'are a lot of features with I don't have
access.

Thanks.
