As a person with russian background I am laughing on the name of the project. With all the respect to the effort, I can’t take it seriously.

The «хули» (direct transliteration to huly) means “what a hell” or actually a bit spicier “what a f@ck”. This phrase is common for russian tradies who don’t bather to know anything but where is the nearest bottle shop and how much time left til the end of work shift.

The name reminded me PizData project from the russian speakers.

What. A. Joke.

I thought about Huli from Silicon Valley TV show, and couldn't but think "Gentlemen, and lady, of the board"
