## CodiMD became HedgeDoc
Many people opened issues in the codimd server repository for bugs and features, which they saw at the HackMD codimd.
The fact, that there have been two projects with the same purpose and the same name was very confusing.
The solution was to find a unique, new name. This process started in April 2020 with a [call to participation](https://community.codimd.org/t/renaming-yet-another-time/102).
It took some time, but in [July 2020 the community agreed on the name "HedgeDoc"](https://community.codimd.org/t/codimd-becomes-hedgedoc/170) and some months later [a new logo was found](https://community.codimd.org/t/time-to-find-the-hedgedoc-logo/171/4).
Finally, in November 2020 version 1.7 was released. Even if the renaming was originally planned for version 2.0, the dev team decided to release 1.7 under the new name to create a smooth transition.
With two actively named forks, sharing the same name. Both [insisting on being
the original/actual owner of the name CodiMD](https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/issues/1219),
people became rightfully confused about the projects sharing the same name.
After roughly a year of being stuck on the name issue, the HedgeDoc community
decided to take action and started a [renaming process in April 2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/renaming-yet-another-time/102).
With a good head start in the amount of names, it was decided that an entire
rebranding should take place and therefore, after a [name was agreed on in July
2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/codimd-becomes-hedgedoc/170), the next step
was to [find a logo](https://community.codimd.org/t/time-to-find-the-hedgedoc-logo/171).
In November of 2020, roughly 7 months after the initive was started, a logo was
found, the rebranding of the application as well as all community pages took place
and the time of name conficts was over. (hopefully.)
