Accepted. I am going to rename it DataDeck and this will be the final name.

Yes, it is. I already have dpm forked on GitHub. I will add the file
to dpm level and make pull requests.

I will rename my datapkggui repository to datadeck. It will be on
https://github.com/dgraziotin/datadeck.
I will also just focus on dpm and drop datapkg support. Unfortunately,

Thank you for your reply, now I have more clear ideas.
