Re: [nebula-dev] Nebula Wording
|
Hi Mickael,
Thanks for bringing this up. My opinion about this is the following:
snapshot < yuk (maven lingo)
It does not have any status. I like nightly: everything we did during the day will be available the next day because we build overnight. (It is not easy btw to find a time where it is night everywhere ;) This is the standard in eclipse download naming. You also see "latest" which is fine by me too.
Maybe we should not label as "proper", "release" or "main". Just Nebula.
Incubation is crisp and clear:
So my vote would be on:
We could also include some eclipse release name. (indigo/helios)
Regards,
Wim

Hi all,
Just for a matter of wording, here are some terms I think are
confusing/wrong/ugly in current Nebula discussions:
* "nightly" for buils: that's wrong, they pull the SCM and build
whenever they see a change. I prefer the word "snapshot", which more
reflects what it the result of the build. Moreover, "nightly" is a
term from the past, there is no more need for scheduled builds now
thanks to CI servers (except for specific cases, but Nebula is not
part of them)
* "release" for the Nebula most mature widgets: even incuabation
widgets will perform releases, so it will be quite easy for
consumers to get confused with what release means.
* "proper" because it reminds me of Mister Proper, and makes me
think incubation widgets are dirty, and that's not very cool to say
that for people who developed them, and it is bad marketing for
end-users.
So here are some suggestions:
* nightly -> Snapshot
* proper/release -> Main
* incubation -> incubation
Let's the debate start!
Regards,
