The consensus seems to be for 'Son of GridEngine' so I am keeping that name. Right now I am working on importing Dave Love's repo (non-trivial since 'git fsck' fails on it, see here https://github.com/son-of-gridengine/sge/issues/1, but I'm mostly done, it's just slow).
If you want to be involved, please let me know your github userid, and please 'watch' the project. My own experience of GridEngine is mainly as a user, not a maintainer, so we need qualified people!
