+title: New Project Name: Monitoring Plugins
+author: Holger Weiß
+date: 2014-01-15
+---
+
+In the past, the domain `nagios-plugins.org` pointed to a server independently
+maintained by us, the Nagios Plugins Development Team.  Today, the DNS records
+were modified to point to web space controlled by Nagios Enterprises instead.
+This change was done without prior notice.
+
+This means the project can no longer use the name "Nagios Plugins".  We, the
+Nagios Plugins Development Team, therefore renamed the Nagios Plugins to
+*Monitoring Plugins*.
+<end-of-teaser>
+
+We're not too happy having to make this move.  Renaming the project will lead
+to some confusion, and to quite a bit of work for others and for ourselves.
+We would've preferred to save everyone this trouble.
+
+However, we *do* like how the new name indicates that our plugins are also
+used with various other monitoring applications these days.  While the Nagios
+folks created the original implementation of the core plugins bundle, an
+independent team has taken over development more than a decade ago, and the
+product is intended to be useful for *all* users, including, but not limited
+to, the customers of Nagios Enterprises.
+
+It'll probably take us a few days to sort out various issues caused by the new
+project name, but we're confident that we can resume our development work
+towards the next stable releases very soon.
+
+We'd like to take the chance to thank you, our community, for your countless
+contributions, which made the plugins what they are today.  You guys are
+awesome.  We're looking forward to the next chapter of Monitoring Plugins
+development, and we hope you are, too!
