[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Multiwiki plugin name before first release
Hi xwiki committers, Multiwiki plugin will be released very soon with XEM. As I architecture this plugin, it can now live out of XEM as a application with his plugin+attached XAR. In place of "multiwiki" I'd like to propose to name the application and the plugin "wiki-manager" as it sounds better to me as the goal is to create, delete, edit properties of wikis and template wikis, in other word to manage wikis. So why wikis-manager ? Plus it is more coherent with the new application-manager XAR+plugin that will be released very soon too. So lets fight :) Here my +1 for "wiki-manager". -- Thomas Mortagne
I don't like it, at least not the singular form (wiki-manager); it suggests that it manages one wiki only. Other proposals: - wikis-manager: almost the same as what you proposed, but it uses the plural form 'wikis', showing that it manages more than one wiki. - farm-manager: it describes what we do with XWiki -- wiki farm hosting -- but it is not a good global name, as most people will not host a "farm", and won't like the term. - multiwiki-manager: a better name than the first proposal, since it shows that it manages more wikis; just 'multiwiki' might give the impression that it adds multiwiki support. - virtual-manager: Not so good, as the term "virtual wiki" is something we use internally, I don't know if other people will understand what 'virtual' stands for. Moreover, it might be read as "a virtual manager", or a kind of electronic boss that watches what people do. An alternative could be "virtual-wiki-manager", but it doesn't really solve any of these issues. So, I'd say +1 for multiwiki-manager. Sergiu On 9/13/07, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

I agree with Sergiu. "multiwiki-manager" sounds the best. +1 for it. Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:

I don't like the pural formal :) since in English adjectives do not take an "s". An example that maybe makes it more obvious: FileManager. A FileManager doesn't manage a single file but several.
- farm-manager: it describes what we do with XWiki -- wiki farm hosting -- but it is not a good global name, as most people will not host a "farm", and won't like the term.
I don't like it either since the goal is not to manage Farms but to manage Wikis. And Farm is not perfect since it can mean different things.
- multiwiki-manager: a better name than the first proposal, since it shows that it manages more wikis; just 'multiwiki' might give the impression that it adds multiwiki support.
The goal is not to manage mutiwikis but just wikis but I think it's the best name so far. Note that I actually like "multiwiki" too!
- virtual-manager: Not so good, as the term "virtual wiki" is something we use internally, I don't know if other people will understand what 'virtual' stands for. Moreover, it might be read as "a virtual manager", or a kind of electronic boss that watches what people do.

Agree "virtual" is a bad name since its meaning is not obvious.
So, I'd say +1 for multiwiki-manager.
"multiwiki" isn't so bad after all... ;) I'm also fine with multiwiki-manager and wiki-manager. Thanks -Vincent

I know I'm not a committer but I would vote for wiki manager -> sounds like the logical choice to me. The FileManager exampel won the debate from my PoV :-) Guillaume On 19/09/2007, Marta Girdea <[email protected]> wrote:

I'm not a committer either, but I also think wiki-manager makes the most sense. On 9/19/07, Guillaume Lerouge <[email protected]> wrote:

That can be changed ;) Sergiu -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu
Summary between multiwiki-manager and wiki-manager (the 2 contenders): * Sergiu: multiwiki-manager * Thomas: wiki-manager * JV: wiki-manager * Vincent: multiwiki-manager or wiki-manager * Evelina: multiwiki-manager * Marta: wiki-manager * Guillaume: wiki-manager Total: multiwiki-manager: 3 wiki-manager: 5 Thus I hereby declare wiki-manager to be the winner ;) I'd like to release it today so I'm going to make the modifications to rename it to "wiki-manager". Shout if you really really really don't want that name. Thanks -Vincent On Sep 13, 2007, at 6:20 PM, Thomas Mortagne wrote:
