Choose a new name for the project and replace uses of FINESSE everywhere.

As we are now entering a new project (UNIRAS), it probably makes sense to rename this project from FINESSE, which was the name of the previous project. When starting UNIRAS we considered producing two separate pieces of software for different hardware used by the FINESSE and UNIRAS rigs (albeit with shared code between the two). As we have now decided that the best way forward is to produce a single piece of software which can be configured at runtime to use whatever hardware is needed from the set provided by the FINESSE and UNIRAS rigs, it makes sense to have a name for this software that is independent of both of the projects. As this is open source, the hope would be that in future other features can be added for other use cases (esp. in terms of other hardware, but possibly in terms of visualisation capabilities etc.) both within Imperial and also possibly outside, which is another reason to give it a broader name.

The options are:

• Leave the name as FINESSE, which is the least effort, but doesn't advertise well that the software also works with other hardware and is being developed with UNIRAS funding
• Rename it to UNIRAS. It would be a good way of trumpeting that the software is an output of this new project
• Rename it to something else.

This is super low priority, but it would be nice to close it before the end of the engagement.

@sophiemosselmans and @sanjpand We're looking for a new name for the software as it's being used for two projects, so it'd be nicer to not just call it FINESSE. Any name suggestions welcome!

Hi Alex, Sorry, I’m in a meeting at ESA this week. Give me a few days to come up with something, hopefully Monday. Not sure if the others working on the project are following the request, so I’ve added them in. It’s not really low priority as it would be nice to have something informative and catchy. All the best, Jon.

How about the Far-infraRed Observation Gui (FROG) Software!

I like it! ❤️

I have to admit that the suggestion of FROG was one jump ahead of me… and I like it too.
