Project name

The project name should really be scikit-data. Other scikits including scikit-learn, scikit-image and scikit-bio all use this name convention. I think a bit of consistency would help strengthen the scikit ecosystem and will also improve the visibility of your project.

I'm happy to rename the project on github, in the readme, docs, and elsewhere when I refer to the project. Is there anywhere else it needs to be renamed?

I like the idea.

I like the idea too! I was convinced otherwise earlier, but for sure I can see both sides of it.

The bigger issue is that the project is not actively maintained, it has no champion that would rename it, update links, follow up with the various places that might already have links, and generally announce the update.
