| - | ==Definitions==
| |
| - | woof: the original commandline application; not our project<br />
| |
| - | woofgui: the adapted commandline application; our project<br />
| |
| - | gui-app: an possible independent application that uses woofgui
| |

| |
| - | ==Basic Name for the software itself==
| |
| - | * It started as woof (Web Offer One File); on gtk-apps it was woof_ui; now it is woof_gui but on launchpad it is woofgui
| |
| - | * Names in Launchpad can be altered - Let's not be restricted by this in the beginning of the project
| |

| |
| - | Suggestions:
| |
| - | * Choosing between woofgui or woof_gui or woofer
| |
| - | * Adopting a new name reflecting the programs origin, but being fancy enough to stand on its own: Wui (Woof User Interface), Woofer (Web-Offer-One-File-ER), Woomf (Web Offer One (or) Many File(s))... keep ideas coming!
| |
| - | * Let's choose a fancy name indeed! Other option: woosh (woof sharing); woofish (woof file sharing; sender uses woof, receiver fishes file from world wide web).
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Grounds:
| |
| - | * pro woof_gui: gives most credit to the original program.
| |
| - | * pro woofgui: prevent trouble with the '_'(underscore) e.g. in the url http://launchpad/~woofgui. On launchpad it is already woofgui
| |
| - | * contra woof_gui / woofgui: Naming a tool that shall be specifically designed to make sharing as easy & hassle-free as possible after an acronym ("GUI") out of the toolbox of advanced users & developers is NOT a smart idea. Let's find a simple, sexy name that might be an acronym, but does not require people to understand it - Just like Woof does!
| |
| - | * "Woofer" is great because it reflects the evolution of "woof" while still clarifying that it's something newer + more awesome! The only problem: If someone searches for the project, they are very likely to find lots of stuff to do with HiFi -> Subwoofer ...
