[dash-dev] Branding the new "Common Builder" Dash component
|
Bjorn et al.,
I was thinking more about the branding of this new component, and since I've been having a similar conversation with my GSoC student, Michael Robb, about his work to create wizards for generating project meta (eg., examples feature/plugin stub, tests feature/plugin stub, SDK feature stub, and .releng project) [1], it seems like his work ought to live in Dash too, rather than in o.e.soc as this is entirely complementary to the work involved in a common builder.
We had discussed calling his component Athena [2] in reference to her creation story (and the idea of projects "springing forth, fully formed"), but hadn't fully decided on "athena" vs. "metagen".
I like the name and its evocative branding, so I'd like to put it to the larger Dash committer community.
Should "metagen", currently a GSoC project [1], and the new "commonbuilder" be united under the org.eclipse.dash.athena or org.eclipse.athena namespace?
(Michael, this would mean moving your code from the SOC cvs repo to Dash one, and using o.e.(dash.)athena.metagen.* for your code. We'd also have to vote you in as a committer, but that's trivial.)

Thoughts?
