You realize the name Borg comes from the Attic author, Jonas Borgström, right? No one else calls it Attic as the two are different projects.

I noticed that, but didn't know if Borg has another meaning. I can understand why they forked the project, but in my opinion a name that makes the origin more obvious would have been better.

"Borg" was chosen, because it emphasizes collaborative development — and because someone is a Star Trek fan ;)
