Huly – Open-source project management platform

Interesting naming decision it's actually a swear word in russian and given that top contributors are obviously familiar with the lang. that is not a coincidence.

Interesting username decision — “qaq” (քաք) is actually the vulgar word for “shit” in Armenian.

Indeed, I was going to point out that it may be an innocent mistake, like a decade old "Fedora for Raspberry PI" blunder. But now I've had a close look at the list of contributors, I cannot stop thinking it is an exquisite trolling!

I'm sure GP is aware of this. This root has "shitty" connotations in many languages, Russian included.

(քաք) sure looks cute though

— You mean, we should make a replacement for every project management tool at once?

— <Why> not?

— OK, I've named the repo just that.

Which blunder are you referring to?

Good to know

that def was not the intention :) как is how in russian

Probably Pidora, which is also not an inviting name in Russian (connotation with "fag").

Totally not a coincidence

English too: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cack

Tangibly related: car (kar) means dick in albanian. Imagine elementary english class: "my father has a huge car, and my mother too"

Perhaps it's to discourage bureaucratic Russian companies from using it :)

IIRC Anton Nosik, a pioneer of Russian web, explicitly said that he chose Livejournal user name "dolboeb" (~"dumbfuck") because he didn't want traditional media to cite him.

Wow this is incredible. I had no clue. Indo-European language high-five moment?
