"Multi" Org + Protocol Suite Name

[jbenet]

We need an org name for the "multi" protocol family:

• multihash
• multiaddr
• multikey
• multicodec
• multistream
• multibase

The possibilities that come to mind:

• multiprotocols
• multis
• multicodes
• multisuite
• multiprotos
• multiformats

This word should fit these sentences:

• Multihash and Multiaddr are both [ part of ] ________ .
• [The] _________ [ is / are ] a collection of formats or protocols that use efficient self description to provide interoperability and cryptographic agility.
• [The] ________ [ is / are ] so useful.
• If you design it as a ______ system, then you're not locked in.
• ________ system
• https://github.com/______
• https://_______.io

Try saying them out loud.

[whyrusleeping]

'multis' is a nice option.

[nicola]

I am all for multiprotocols (if you want to be fancy, multiwg, wg is for working group)

[Stebalien]

I also like multiprotocols.

Also, "multis":

(Maltese)

[nicola]

multispecs

[RichardLitt]

Multiprotocols
Multispecs
Multis

In order of preference.

I like multispecs

• Multihash and Multiaddr are both [ part of ] multispecs.
• [The] multispecs [ is / are ] a collection of formats or protocols that use efficient self description to provide interoperability and cryptographic agility.
• [The] multispecs [ is / are ] so useful.
• If you design it as a multispecs system, then you're not locked in.
• multispecs system
• https://github.com/multispecs
• https://multispecs.io

None of these really work with "multis" :)

If we are listing ideas: multispace.

[daviddias]

Self Describable Protocols, with acronym SDP.

"Multihash and Multiaddr are both SDPs"

[pbronez]

Multicols = Multiple Protocols

• Multihash and Multiaddr are both Multicols.
• Multicols is a collection of formats or protocols that use efficient self description to provide interoperability and cryptographic agility.
• Multicols are so useful.
• If you design it as a Multicols system, then you're not locked in.
